Hmm
Well Im no expert and Im sure you will here a million ideas on here that are far more technical and informed, but if I were you I would ask for the lift and some drive shafts...of course gears come to mind with that, among other things, but that can come later I suppose. Just my 2 cents. Army huh? You headed to Benning? Im a Jarhead but Im an infantryman non the less...

I'm assuming that if you are running 35s now, you have some kinda lift on it? and if you are thinking of going to 33s???? why would you put a 4" long arm on?????
First, why go back to a 33" tire? second, depending on $$$ and what model you have, if you don't already have Dana 44s front and rear, that may be a good place to start... gears and lockers would be another good way to spend some benjamins.... adjustable control arms and track bars are nice too...
I guess it depends on what you already have, and how far you want to go.....
Or, if you want to go all out.... do all of the above and rock hard......
Good luck in the Army!!!! and you're build....

i have a question, or two.
okay, so if i go with gearing, what benefits will i gain?? i have seen where it makes them even worse on the highway, ill be a good 4 to 5 hours from home so i may see the interstate every now and then? with 35s i have been told to go with 5:13s...is that correct? good brands? just anything u can tell me about them would be awesome.
thank you in advance guys, i must say i have learned more from this forum than anywhere else so far
