Well thanks it was easy I bought a welder.from harbor freights and bought some metal from a junk yard real easy all I need to do is ands more support to get them closer to the frame probably make a mount to the pinch seem under the jeep any thoughts?

well its been a while finally hooked up the snorkle and fixed my exhaust now it sounds and runs alot better then before !!!!!!

im in the process of looking for a new lift something in the area of a 4.5 to 5 inches and im gonna swap out the gears in the axles to 4.10s and run 37 inch tires not sure yet but in the process im even going for a baja runner look !!!



some update pics!

looks great but i saw you were looking to run 37's and im not sure if you have your stock axles in your rig, However if you do you may want to forgo the gear swap and upgrade your axles to an 8.8 out of a ford or something along those lines with upgraded chrome molly shafts and maybe a locker and a high pinnion 30 in the front will do you well with that tire size. That's just my opinion, however I feel it would be a better investment than upgrading your gear ratio with the stock axle.

would a rear dana 44 work better i think it has stock gears but dont know what its geared to

Atmos

research shows that you'll want a ford 9" geared to a 5.13 ratio (auto trans) for 37's with a dana 44 in the front. might as well go full width for 37's
35" tires are a much cheaper option. I'm liking the light magic haha point and presto. illumination

Haha ok??? And id love to do a full width but this is my only dd and if I did full width right like some of the members on here did it take me at most a month lol and I think 35s would be ok on it right now but probly not
