If the Jeep is in top running order (building on a solid foundation so to speak)...armor and skids. At least then if you can't clear an obstacle you can slide off it without concern of ruining anything major.

Mod your rig with stuff you need for now.
Like recovery gear, and such.
Take it wheeling, get stuck, dig it out.
Take it home, figure out what you may need next.
Rinse/repeat.
Have fun.

Fuel lines?
Why in the world would you even touch them?

i've got a 4.5" lift with stock brake lines stretched out. you can get yj lines for cheap that will be about 3-4" longer than stock.

All i did on the front is bend the hardline staight and i gained 3-4" of length.
the back came with a drop bracket. All you have to do is check the flex before you go wheeling. you might not have to spend a dime in brakelines. your on the right path though.



Fuel lines???...lol... A non issue.

Forget the bigger lift. Trim and get bigger tires and bump stops and then start armoring.
