hey i got a teraflex 2" coil spacer/ extended shackle. anyways i want to upgrade to a 5" suspenion to clear 33's cleanly. i figured rustys 3" coil springs and 3" rear leaf spring packs. but i know that i'm gonna run into some either control arm or driveshaft issue, any advice on this?

Tcase drop/SYE.....brakelines?

I dunno.

I'm thinking a tcase drop over SYE since you want to minimize the front driveshaft's angle as well.

Either a long arm set-up or new Upper and Lower CA. SYE and new rear driveshaft. New gears and lockers if you dont already have them. New shocks, new brakelines, new swaybar end-links(if you keep it), shims.

if all you want to clear is 33's why not just go for a 4.5" lift and do a b it of trimming. with some new control arms, you should be fine. I cleared 33's on 3" of lift with some trimming, lots o room now with 5"

New gears and lockers aren't essential for 33's...

well i already have my 2" coil spacer/shackles and i wnana utilize them too. i cut my front a little bit just towards the front like hella people do with xj's and i just thought going for 3" coils/leafs would be an easy route
