rc 4.5 long arm, 31 tires with 1.5 spacers, q dico's for the fornt, 3 winches,if you have a local high school with a weld shop see if you can get them to fab up some bumbers for you as well, and throw two 8000bl winches in there.

right now i got a rc 3'' on 29 tries and it looks nice but but i going long arm and 31 MT baja claws, and putting 2 8000bl winches in and later down the road ox lockers.



was looking at it a few days ago rc 4.5 long arm, 31 MT baja claws and rim set, 1.5 was going to run my around 2600 q dicos around like another 35-40, so say dumb 3000 in to that and the winches are like 300-400 a pic so say 1000 for them. so for 4000 you got something you can dive on the raod as well off raod with no prob

Rough County 3in with full leafs: $510
JCR Sliders: $250
Firestone Destination M/T: $500
Total: $1260

Oops, off by $260

But if you have a welding shop you can make your own sliders. Plenty of plans on here that you can look at.

3.5 inch RE super ride which is pricey but well worth it.Then some Goodyear MT 31 inch tires.Top it off with a badass roof rack and your good for a DD set up.

3 inch lift is more then enough for the time being
just dont rush into any purchases make sure you search aand find the best deals and ask around you never know what you can find or stumble upon
i got a 3 inch russtys lift
and i found a set of 33 mts for 400 bucks on black steels brand new never been mounted the guy was super nice even gave me a butt ton of jeep stuff he was more then happy to help out a new jeeper

but sliders a lift and good tires is a must

3in Rough Country $255 from their web site, 15x8 with 4 in back spacing from Summit racing for $43 ea. And 30in Swampers anless you want to cut your fenders then go with 31in tires.

Why 3 winches? Maybe two if you are into really hardcore stuff, one front and back. But 3?
