I think this is thread 4 or 5

 

Oh geez here we go again.

 

Why the need to remind all of us how old you are twice a day ?

 

Jesus Christ, I'm sorry the other one was getting to drawn out and off topic.

 

That's how CF is.....
Gotta put it back on topic

Gon' learn today

I don't know much but I read for about 3 months before I really started getting a clue on what I should do. Half of it was just figuring out what was quality vs what was waste of money ****. I'm still messing up

 

 

Let me sum this up for ya.

1. Run a 3.5-4.5" lift We will recommend RE/BDS/Currie/Clayton/TNT/ RockKrawler (Preferably Long-Arm) with quality shocks like Bilstein or Fox.
Then tell you to run a 33-35" tire and trim/bumpstop accordingly, You'll need a SYE and driveshaft and want to regear for that large of tires.


2. Since your 16 you'll say its too damn expensive and throw out our info and buy a ****ty RC lift and wonder why it rides like **** and after a year or so you will tear it all out and replace it with quality parts after you get sick of it. Or you will wreck it

 

Coming from a not-so-long-ago-16-year-old, Tom95YJ is completely right. When I was sixteen, I was dreaming big like you. I did tons of research, though, and realized how much things were going to cost. After talking to people a LOT (including Tom), and realizing what people like and dislike, and seeing the pros and cons of lift heights and tire sizes, I end up getting a mix of parts. I got Rubicon Express 3.5" coils and leaves, a Rock Krawler trackbar, Bilstein 5100 shocks, JKS Quick Disconnects, RE Adj Control Arms, 33x12.5 Goodyear MT/Rs, etc. You get the idea. Basically, don't cheap out if you want to be happy. I researched for over a year and finally came to my final purchase. Tires and all, I ended up paying about $2500. If you don't have the money to do it right, you really shouldn't do it at all.

 

^^sound advice...

look buddy don't let these guys get you down, you're only 16 and want answers to your problems, but starting multiple threads and not following links that pointed you in the direction this thread is going is just sending everyone who's tried to help you over the edge..

at your age it was muscle cars and no internet.... talk about scary !!!

If I was your age now and into 4x4's etc I'd be dreaming of the ultimate lift in the magazines (now internet) too.. But the reality is for your first car you will probably want to take baby steps and build it up little by little, then as you gain more experience working on and filtering through your jeeps own personal quirks you can ad more flavor, keep in mind a jeep is also pretty capable in stock form...
