95 xj 3.5" RE coils, RE end links, Rustys 4.5" lift LCA's and Uca's rustys 3" aal, Mj Shackles Rustys trac bar (shitty), 33"x12.50 bfg at's. This is my current setup.

I wouls like a littel more height but I do not want to spend alot.

Buy RE 4.5" Coils, Tera flex quick disconnects, TnT customs trac bar and 1.5" Boomerang shackles added to my rustys 3"aal, T case drop (until i can afford sye and shaft) and I already have sky jacker shocks for 4 to 5 inches lift +, since I have no rear bump stops b/c they rotted off get extended rear bump stops and front bump stops.

This will total about $500 after I re gear the axels this spring.
sounds like a good idea to me any input?
 
Sounds like an expensive inch of lift. And with the t-case drop you´re loosing ground clearance again.

I think the money is better spent on a locker or two and getting rid of the t-case drop, if you´ve already one. Adding lockers will take you to new places while wheeling, whereas one inch of lift won´t take you to so much new places, I think.
 
from what i understand, longer shackles with aal is a bad idea. hopefully someone who knows more than i will chime in
 
I'm with BlueGerbil. Just locked my heap and it's the best thing I've ever done - I'm going places I wouldn't have dreamed of before. You going to have your diffs open for gears anyway right...?

Ok well this is why I posted, to get more opinions. So say I keep the height I have w/ my 33's until I run across some Inexpensive coils/leafpacks, Upgrade to tera flex discos, and a steering box brace (Crok and rustysor home made) and put that money towards the 4:56 gears I am already saving for now, What kind of locker is best for a DD $$$$ wise and what should I do first if I choose one, front or rear?

I am picking up the 8.25 4:56 in about two weeks and then I will save for fronts and install kits, and locker.


Is that the better way to go avoiding adding mroe height, locking the axles and beefing up a few other things?
