soon to be a play toy
im about to buy another car so my zj will be strictly a play toy. im just not sure what all i should do to it. it will mainly see mud and a few trails. Where is a good place to begin building it? as of now it has a 5.5 inch lift but soon to be replaced with a 7.5 inch lift but other than that not sure where to start. when i got it i was told it had 4.88 gears but im not sure how true that is. so pics and any advice you guys have would be really sweet.

are you trying to flip it over? 7.5" is way to high for anything besides mudding. yes I said it. stay at 5.5" grow a pair and cut sheet metal. your much more stable rig will thank you. Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but height isn't everything

I must say that looks gorgeous. to the OP: Do that!
Yeah, i'm not a big fan of going super high. just makes for a tippy Jeep. Even most every thread I've read where people have gone and put full width tons under their Jeep, they stay at or under the 6.5" level. I'd be scared to go higher than 5.5" on stock axels even with backspaced 35s.
