Have you considered a somewhat shorter lift with flat flares? I like the 'looks' of the 5-6" lifts, but I prefer the lower CoG builds for the reduced costs and better driveability.

I will not be having fenders on the jeep, I'll have the XRC Front and Rear Fenders. As for lower CoG, I am wanting to run 37" tires. If you have a lift you can suggest for me that I can run my tires, I would love it.

Thank you

They were either bought by 4WP's or whoever owns them. They will still be around, exactly as they were, except with better bushings and joints.

My local 4WP's store told me this.

Keep the 1" bl
TF 2.5 Coil with .5" spacers
High steer kit
cut your fenders

That will fit 37s and youll have money left over. Keep the DS until it goes bad as you can probably get away with it for awhile with that lift.

The high steer kit will keep it driving great as a DD. I went with the AEV setup and I love it.

Default Kits

@ MikeyB - What high steer kit are you suggesting? Which .5" spacers are? Would you be able to give me a Part number so I can get them on my list? And I'll definately look into this particular setup. You're talking about the 2.5" JK Budget Boost, right?

@ richmanyou - I'm not sure about the Rock Krawler set up, since it's $1200 and I need to get 4 shocks as well. I know it's a good setup, but it will get pretty pricy getting all of the components I'll need for it.

Thanks for the support guys.

@ richmanyou - Thanks for the leads. I'll be sure to follow your PM and Planman's write-up seems like a good thing to follow.

Always open for more helpful insights and suggestions.
