To lift or not to lift
I'm sitting on about $800 and don't know if I want to buy tires, bumpers, and beef up my driveline now or later. What would you guys do?

My vote is for a bb and lunchbox lockers. Plus, you can always look for good condition used parts! What diffs do you have?

What do you want to do with your rig? Rock crawling, trail riding, or mudding?

Well down here in Florida we don't have much rock crawling to be done. So I'll be doing a lot of trail riding and this will also be my DD. However, I'm going to school in Massachusetts and don't know what I'll encounter up there.

I wouldn't waste any money on that d35! See if you can find a 29 spline C8.25, or a d44. If not, don't go bigger then 32's and open on that d35.

I've been really tough on my 99 with a 35 and it's held up great. I've run 32's on it and beat it pretty heavy before and it's never given me any problems. If it's primarily a dd I wouldn't worry about an axle swap.
