Thanks Geeper4x4. I appreciate your advice. Could you explain to me why you think the 4.88's are a better fit for my set up v's the 5.13's? is there a specific brand i should go with? I am looking to put it back to stock feel and not loose too much gas mileage. I wont be pulling anything heavy or anything like that. I am only trying to beef it up a bit for looks. However, I am in the works of purchasing another Jk rubi 4x4 silver and that one i will use to play around a bit.

one more question? would it be wiser to go with the teraflex 2.5" BB lift or the teraflex 2.5" spring w/ shocks lift? Thanks.

 

x2. order a 4x4 save money during the 4-5 weeks it takes to arrive. even with lockers in the rear you wont be able to do much with a 4x2.

 

If it was me... I would get a transfer case, axle, etc. and make it 4wd. It wouldn't cost that much. There are used Dana 30s in the used section right now for under $500. There is also a transfer case there for $300. Many stock front driveshafts for 50-100. So for under $1k after getting the inside shifter and stuff you would have a 4wd. Even if you never used the 4wd when you sold the jeep later it would sell faster and for much more money.


Maybe I should have bought a 2wd and built it up? lol.
