It looks like your school has a big enough lift to get it that high already. How much bigger of a lift do you need?

If you actually want to lift it that high with a suspension lift.

The cheapest route would be to locate a used monster truck. Buy it for $50k plus and then swap your Jeep unibody onto the monster trucks frame/drivetrain. Done.

Honestly the list of modifications necessary to correctly lift your Jeep that high and still have it drivable is ridiculous.

i dont think he meant from the ground to the top. im assuming the OP is referring to the distance between the top of his tires and the bottom of the fender flares. and to me id say maybe about 5 inches of lift. (but dont quote me on it)

Whew, I hope that is what he meant. That would make more sense. That much gap with 31" tires; 5 inches sounds about right.
