Why has no one mentioned lockers?!?

If I had 5K to spend, I would get D30 axle gussets new inner shafts, front locker, winch before I started to look at 37's.
Lift, tires, Your call. Everyone recommends the brand they went with..

I do like my RC lift.

I would like to point out the the OP has 35's (Well 34.6) and if they are looking small to him, he wants 37's. And if he wants 37's I'd say go with the LA, but he needs more money.

Before he could put 37's under there I would think lift, drive shafts, axle shafts, and gears are going to be the minimum he needs. I would also gusset the Dana 30. Anybody disagree?

I think the person with the most over the top build here has the most realistic build list. (BTW it's Wednesday, is it there yet )

How much did you find the long arm for?? Does it come with new drive shafts? You will need new drive shafts just to put this on.

What size coils does the lift come with? I'm running 3" coils and shocks. If thats your plan. You'll need to buy 3" coils from FT.

You wont need the pitman arm or the drop down track bar brackets either.
he has 4.10 (1st post)

Ya I have 4.10s, I have the aussie locker sitting here on the desk. I am planning to get one for the rear as well when I get my gears and just have them put in at the same time. That is the plan anyway. things may change, and I may end up on 35s with 4.10s for a while. I hope not though it is already sluggish.
