I am preparing to build a xj with dana 60s, bfg 42'' AG tires, and 12'' lift ( Custom 4 link front and rear leafs ). im upgrading a mud machine. im currently running a 6.5 rustys lift with 35-10.50 boggers, trussed dana 30 and 44 with lock rights.

hey man I'm gonna be watching your build for sure but i would go with leaf springs for sure for a mudding rig and plus its way easier to lift it to clear tractor tires heres a pic of my XJ on 44 inch TSL

But yeah I'm not sure what NY is like but here in Canada wide tires tend to do better from what I've seen... but I have a limited knowledge of mudding. Every time I've seen a mudder go into a trail, the following year that trail gets closed so most people tend to stay away from that except for screwing around in their own fields or a friends field.
