My plan is to run 30 or 31" tires tops, 2-3" lift. I'm aiming for quality / durability above all, mostly I wheel rocks by accident (when FS road maps omit the "WTF" factor) but I take it out to the dirt pretty often. Sometimes, I drag it across things & dent the underside. So I do want durability upgrades... So far, I'm thinking:
Beef up the passenger's UCA mount,
re-use my solid diff cover from the '30 under my jeep
U-bolt plates welded to the LCA mounts as mini skids
drill / tap the breather line for 1/8 NPT 3/8" hose barb (hate that plastic...)
replace seals & UCA bushings
full circle clips + fresh but probably off-brand Ujoints
Traction aid, probably a lunchbox for budget reason
+ some kind of brake upgrade. I don't know if I'm going to finish the WJ swap or home-brew something with Sport Trac or Crown Vic rotors yet. I could go Black Magic pads but for some reason want to go rotor / caliper instead.
I like the idea of a truss & inner C gussets but don't think I need them.
This all sound reasonable for my intended use? Anything with a high bang for the buck that I'm omitting?
