so i think i might want to go bigger...not just another inch...like up to 5".
like this that i found over on JF:
i would like to go like that, but maybe just 4.5" to keep from fooling with shackles...[a full leaf pack is gonna be hard b/c my bolts are all rusted...]...and 31's instead of 32's. i really like the look of that size lift, with those wheels and tires...and the spare carrier...just without the roof rack.
so down to the nitty-gritty...
my 16th birthday is coming up in may, and i need to know if it would be in budget range to ask for this lift for my bday. im thinking that i'll need this extra stuff as well:
sye
track bar, or other misc front end stuff?
gears?
its a daily driver, so im not worried about lockers and axles popping... im sure the dturdyfive can handle 31's or 32's, because our TJ has it with 32's.
anyways...what kind of $$$ can i be looking to for going up basically another 1.5"-2" from my current 3"[actual 2.5"], and do it right the first time?
other nit-picky question would be about tires: i know i want mud-terrains of some sort, which are the best for on-road use too?:dunno:
[sorry for the long post, i just have so many questions...and yes i searched...]
