This is my first jeep its a 98 sport with 2" lift
I'm trying to get my build list prepared for next summer and need some suggestions:
Planning on a 4.5 lift I was told I may need an slip yoke??
Also without fender trimming (not tryin to cut sheet metal, shes too good looking for that just now lol ) could I fit a 32 12.50

Rustys off-road has a really good deal on a budget lift. Extended shackles and 1.75" pucks for 90.00 really nice

Is AAL the way to go or the shackles the best way... my springs are still at stock height with no sag.

It's personal preference you'll here both sides of the spectrum I personally like the firmer ride the aal has.
I think either way you can't really go wrong

I'd suggest 11.50 wide though. On an off set of 4" or more

I decided to go with the 2" spacers and shackles and new HD springs. You guys think this is a good way to go? Im not doing any offroading really, and it is my daily driver. I plan on putting 31s KOs on it.

Don't do blocks in the rear, don't do an AAL in the rear. Get full leaf packs and you'll be thanking yourself later down the road.
