jeepspeed where to get started

ok here the deal, I’m 17 and got a good job with a shit load of money to put into this, I have a lot of exeriense with beating the shit out of a shitting truck and fixing with duck tape pretty much, but I’m kind of tired with that and instead of going slow rockin and muddin, I want to go fast and make a jeepspeed like truck and maybe race it someday, so does anyone have a list of what you can and cant have in a jeepspeed, I have a good motor and body, I can build my own roll cage and weld up anything, I need to know what kind/ and how high of lift is good for jumping and good on heavy terrain and whatever I need or any good advise,

is the jeep going into a garage for a year? or is it a dd?
what kinda front suspension do you want to run? conventional 4 link+tb? bolt ins-vs-fabbed?
does it have to stay street legal? you can buy an awesome tow rig w/ a shitload of money right?

Step 1 check out jeepspeed.com for rules

I would go woth 5-6" lift msny go-fasters like the full traction kit.
I really doubt you can go wrong with a deaver leaf pack.
Get some good shocks Sway-away, fox, bils, king, foa, etc
Study every build you can find including Skullver's thats on here.

Well thats a start but plan on money time money time and more money. Have fun

It's a blast! hope to see you at the races sometime.

Without getting heavy into detail, start with the Full Traction 4 link long arm system, Deaver springs in the rear, and 2.5" fox, bilstien, etc up front, with an air bump inside. By the time you get that far, you'll know more about Jeepspeed you'll ever want to know.
