Follow up:

Wow you Fresno area people have some wonderful four wheeling areas. Went into Red lake but was afraid to go any further with a mostly stock Jeep. Met Marlin of Marlin Crawler fame on the trail. He was handing out parts to all the broke down Toyotas along the way. Just absolutly beautiful country.

The trip definitley made me rethink my whole outlook on what I want to do with the Jeep. Was looking at no lift and 33's when I went up. Now that Im back down Im trying to figure out how much lift Im going to need and whether I want 35's or 37's.

This is 4 inch with 37's. Bigger requires a step ladder

No I'll probably need a step ladder with 37's I just want enough lift/tire to not drag the entire bottom off the Jeep. I made it into Red Lake but I left a ton of black undercarriage paint behind. I know thats what the undercarriage armor is for but it really freaks me out every time I drag it accross something.
