im thinking imma go with the RE hack n tap, with the front driveshaft, he said he had about 6 inches of lift at the time of the sye and driveshaft and it looked no where near all the way extended. what do you think? and like he said im not gonna be driving this thing up cliffs so the hack n tap would be fine for my mild wheeling.

yeah I have to agree i started a thread to get the parts list check it out

yeah it rubbed hard in the front when i turned. I didnt have to take off as much as i did but you may be able to get away without cutting it in the back you just wont have alot of room for flex.

alright, thats one thing im not looking to do is trim my fenders!
so imma stick with 33's with my lift.

Cherokee 4.0

I like having room to flex, so thats why i just stuck with 31s even though im at 8 inches of lift....and without fenders in the rear ive still rubbed flexed out

well i dont have many places to wheel around where i live that i can wheel hard. lol its just mild so rubbing badly wont be an issue

well, i had a very interesting experience yesterday i was going muddin and i hit a really deep hole and got stuck. not only was it halfway up the doors but my dry rotting weather stripping started letting water in. so i had 6-8 inches of water in the floor boards of the jeep so now i have to strip the interior haha. ill try and post pics later!

i got stuck on the frame, i listened to one of my buddys.



the hole that was up to my head lights, i made it through till i fell in the ruts and the axles hung up.

i climbed out the window because the water was coming in =[

My new (to me) winch i picked up for a steal, 320 dollars. Ramsey 9000 pounder. Newly rebuilt
