Before you start flaming me for not searching, I have read stuff until my eyes bleed and my head hurts.
Anyway, here is my current dilema. I have an '01 with the upcountry package, skids + 1" lift. Bought some 245/75/16 mt/r's on moab wheels. Put said wheels on, they rub a little off road on the fender flares. So I start thinking about maybe doing a 2" shackle lift with spacers up front. I don't want to go any more than that. This is more of a DD than anything else with some mild trail riding. Even though I really like the looks and ride of these tires/wheels, I would rather go back to a smaller tire different set of wheels than have to add an endless stream of upgrades. So here is the part that I would like some clarification on.
I start reading stuff about needing as SYE due to vibration on the late models even with a mild 3" lift. Yes, no, maybe, I've seen all 3 answers.
New LCA or brackets? Have seen all of these suggested as well.
And of course there are more products out there than I can decipher.
Anyway, I guess I'm really looking for feedback from those of you with the later models and a similar 3" lift setup and what issues you have had or not had. All help is appreciated.
