Fellas, over the past month I have taken my stock 97 Sahara with 17k miles and began the Mods.

Most have been cosmetic and I want to know what I should do mechanically to support what I have done so far.

Here is what I have done:

35" Nitto Trail Grapplers
2.5" Pro Comp lift w/ shocks
18" Wheels
Headlight, tail light, turn signal guards from RR
RR tubular doors
Plastic Dipped Grill, hubs, Trail Rated Badge
Yakima rollbar safari rack
Smittybuilt oversized tire carrier
Grill inserts
Mopar front bumper 3 light mount
RR fog lights (3)
Cowl body armour
Smittybuilt tailgate cargo bags
RR tube door cargo bags
SuperChip Flashpaq
RR mirror relocation brackets
Daystar dash shelf
Rampage rear sport rack
Aries Grill Guard
Grab handles
Door Entry Guards
Door Handle Guards
Bushwacker Pocket Fender Flares
Mopar fuel filler door
RR bug deflector

I am happy with the way it looks, but want to know what I should do mechanically if anything since I lifted it and am running 35's. As of now, I am not planning on hardcore rock climbing, but may do a little off roading here and there. I am just worried that since I did the lift, I may need to do other things so that I am not wearing out parts.

I am so glad I found this forum...mucho info.

Thanks in advance!

 

gusset your c's

 

Can you put the soft top up with that cargo rack on the roof?

 

Gussets and an evap skid would be a good place to start

 

This.. and get rid of those horrible pocket flares xD ew.. I can't stand those. But besides that you might want to look into some Adjustable TB's and LCA's.
