Take just the rear off, it has no effect except it limits flex. My dd is 4.5 with 32's and no sway bars front or rear so you will be fine with not having a rear

Alright guys after reading dukie564's post about the DPG's OME kits I think I have my lift narrowed down to 3 options.

http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Lift-Kits-Je...3&t_pn=ARB8401
http://dpgoffroad.com/products/3-inch-deluxe-xj-kit/
http://dpgoffroad.com/products/22-5-...-hybrid-kit-2/

They are all OME kits I just want to know if there are any parts in these kits that I don't need. Also with the first kit posted if I don't have a dana 35 axle will this still work. Not sure how the rearend determines what type of lift you can use. I think I have a chrysler 8.25 rearend but I am not 100% sure. Remember I won't be wheeling this it is a DD for now so I am just looking to clear my 31" tires and possibly improve the ride based on the OME reviews I have read.

I think the only difference between having a different axle would be the size of the u-bolts. But I'm not entirely sure. And I just ordered a set of ome 2" leafs, I'm going to be piecing together my own 2" lift!

x2 - the rear swaybar is far too small to have any effect on the sway of the vehicle. You won't even notice it's gone

I have another question about RE super ride vs flex. Thanks for bearing with me.

Are the springs the same? Because if so, I would rather buy the super ride and spend the extra $200 on better adjustable lowers, shocks, and better discos. Would there be anything else I would have to buy separate? Thanks again, I'm new as hell to lifting and I'd like to do it right the first time.

I believe the springs are the same. Check REs website. You probably can't find shock, adjustable lowers, and disconnects for less then $200. Also grab an adjustable track bar.

Possibly. Measure each arm from frame to axle. Im not an expert on GC's so i can only speculate. Just measure the arms.
