Call Dirk at Dpg off-road 316-776-9900. He will actually talk to you about your plans, and custom put together a lift for you.
... if I handed you 1500 dollars which 4-5.5 inch lift would you buy ?
I’m not sure how I’ve never read that anywhere else but you have a great idea on the fixed lowers . However why not 4.5 or drop brackets ? I really do not want cut fenders I usually hate cut fenders because 99 percent of them are butchered .For 32s I'd look at a 3.5" lift. Regarding drop brackets, you loose a good 3 inches of ground clearance to gain another inch of lift if you decide on the 4.5" lift. On the lower arm, there is a factory provision to adjust the body mounting point to effectively move the axle forward a small amount. For me, I've always run fixed lowers and adjustable uppers, that way you have a smooth surface to slide on when sliding the lowers over rocks. You also mentioned the lift for flex. Good flex will come from properly bump stopping and getting a shock which will give you the most downtravel while also maximizing your uptravel based on where you set your bumpstops.
I'd recommend:
Fixed lowers
adjustable uppers
3.5" coils
adjustable track bar
the best leaf springs you can afford
good shackle
SYE
diff covers
Crossmember/t-case skid
zj tie rod
Hope that helps and you'll love Moab!
Should I really be going long arm or drop brackets and short arms ?
