Ok, I'm only 15 years old, turning 16 in 2 months (way to long). I'm picking up my dads 97 2wd 4.0l manual trans with 160,000 miles for $1400(Half bluebook). Many of you may have heard this numerous times here, but I just can't make up my mind. Anyways, My master "Plan" is to buy a lift (the point of this thread, just wait), and do the 4wd conversion, being 15, I am on a tight budget. My parents say they will pay for new tires, since it needs them anyway. When ever I do my lift, I want to install the front axle at the same time. As time progresses and I get more money, I will install the other componets. Woody is giving me his old 3.55 gears. What tires will these run with decent gas milage and still keep towing capability? What ever that number is will help with the lift question: Would you go 2 inch or 3 inch? If 3 inch, would I need new lower control arms, SYE (whenever I get the t-case), ect. If so, should I just go with the 2 inch? If that, budget boost or the whole nine yards? Thank you in advance.
