ok finally gonna be able to put some money back to start moddin my jeep so here is my plan over the next 4 months or so. I WELCOME ur thoughts and suggestions. im thinkin ill have 500 a month or so to spend so bout 2k all together.

this is the order i figured id do it:
1. front bumper ( liking the hudfab bumpers)
2. SYE
3. 4.5 rc lift kit (long arms later, maybe in the next 4 month plan)
4. black rock 942 type d wheels 15x10x4backspacing
5. MT MTZ 35x12.5

i got a 98 2 door 6l manual. For the next year and a half its just gonna be my DD( awaitin 10 of 12 points to fall off my license lol before i purchase another vehicle due to insurance doesnt know and i enjoy my less than 100 a month for 2 vehicles),figured id do as much as i can between then and now before i have another car payment and can afford to fix her up this much

... already trimmed my fenders, i figure ill need bumper stops and the lift kit comes with most stuff i need but maybe there are a few things i could use suggestions on along the way thx

 

here is how it sits now with 31s

 

you dont need a SYE with a 4.5 anything over you will.

 

this isnt true. ^

I have seen 3.5" needing a SYE because the transfer case drop wasnt enough.

 

My drive shaft actually fell out a month or so back, granted I was raisin hell, but I'd rather that not happen again lol

 

Nice plan!

And I just picked up my Hudfab bumper last night it's wicked

 

you may or may not need the SYE. I'm at 5.5 inches with a 1 inch T-case drop and i got no vibes. I would get the lift and drive it and its your call after that. (make sure you also get it up to highway speeds in the test)

 

sounds pretty damn close to mine but mine was 6 i have some pics in my album youll definitely like the 35s but the gearing was a little high like that should have lowered it a little i put it back on the 33s wheni sold it. and cant say i ever dropped the driveshaft in it came pretty close dont know how it didnt fall out.

 

What is your current lift?

 

I run one with just 3 inches, it will save you one day.

 

def save you... if you decide to go big or with that money you could put a few more ponys into it.. exhaust, intake, programmer, tb spacer

 

Um all I've done to it is 2" rc adj shackles, it came with the 31"s so I think it has 1 or 2" spacers maybe springs I dunno lol

Because I dropped the shaft already Im gonna to do the SYE anyways lol with the way I drive it needs to be stronger/tighter

 

If have 3.07 gears the 35s are going to suck driving. Any plans on upgrading your axles. 35s is also when want to look into that area

 

I think the 8.25 is 3.55? I will be upgrading the rear and front gears eventually, I don't plan on wheelin hard till I get a new dd

 

if its manual, it most likely has 3.07, doesnt matter if its a 8.25 or not, and if your regearing it, you have to do both at the same time, or dont every touch the 4wd lever until you do the front!
