Welcome magilla. You may want to do some research on this site about a 3" lift. I think once you get to that level, you are going to need shafts sooner then later. Check the Write-ups Section or the JK-Talk.
You've got myself and Acelockco in Reading and BriTine in Lansdale. These guys I met, and they a good bunch. They are heading up to Rausch Creek on 1/31 and 2/1. I may head up one of those days. Mine is still stock, but I have fun!
See Ya.

Thanks for the informtation and advice. I have done quite a bit of research on this forum and see that driveshaft is recommended for the front in the 4dr. My plan was to wheel it lightly until I can afford phase II of my mods. My phase II mods were going to include the following when money permits. I was planning to have these mods done by the shop since the gearing is way beyond what I am willing to tackle. Also the labor is about the same to get the lockers done while regearing. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Phase II:
Regear to 5.13
Upgrade front axle shafts to chromoly and maybe add ARB locker
Upgrade rear axle shafts to 35 spline chromoly w/ ARB locker
Install ARB compressor
Woods 1310 front driveshaft (I don't think the rear is needed on the 4dr right away)
Also I plan to upgrade the front bumper and add rock sliders in the near future. I am leaning toward the LoD stubby and rock sliders. Any opinions on these?
Tires...I am deciding between Toyo OC MT ($$$), BFG KM2 ($$$), or Pro Comp Xtreme MT ($$).
I am really looking forward to getting out there soon!

I have the welder (110V) and tools for prep and clean-up. Any one need welding done?
I have put on my 2" lift, but I need to put the front stock spacer is to level my JK out. My garage is full of kids bikes, electric Jeep, and my Mini, so I'm out of room to work on my JK. A 2 car garage would be handy... Food and drink also sound good.... Shootin' the breeze is always a pleasure.....
