hahaha. well I'm lifting the blue one if I need to replace the shocks and springs to pass inspection. otherwise it's staying stock height for now. white jeep will be getting much work done this summer. also, I don't think I'll have to take it off the road either (no insurance or tags), i think I can afford both once I start working full-time. Ganna talk to my insurance agent and see if I can get insurance cheaper on the white one since I won't be driving it much (compared to the blue one).

just doing research now. trying to get the most lift/flex without dumping a bunch of money into it. planning on a fresh 3" lift, but if I can get away with another inch without adding a lot of extra expense, then why not.

don't blame ya. I'm going to try and go big from the start, that way I don't just end up redoing it. also, since I'm still living with my parents, I'll have money to play with. also GF will be going to college in NC, so I won't be spending as much on her = D except gas to visit....

I'm on 4.5" with the frowned upon transfer case drop. I've been putting off a sye since I lifted but I'm buying my brothers transfer case with one already installed

I've got a 3.5 re lift on mine and it couldn't move till I dropped the tc. The shaft was way to bound up. I have an sye waiting to go in, but I need the tc I bought from clown so I can put it in.

Give it a shot. I was going to go 4" too but then you pointed me to that guy selling the AA SYE. Jumped on that and I'll get shackles later to get me to 4".
