Ok, after months of research and talking to many well knoledged jeep owners who have done this, this is what im probably going to run...

Teraflex 2.5" BB w/ shocks
Skyjacker 3/4" Front spacers
35" Tire with 17" rims, running stock sahara gears. (4.73?)

I think this works out the best, but now im comparing prices for everything.
ProComp is having a buy 3 get 1 free sale on tires starting saturday i was told, but whats a good site for ordering the others. I was thinking 4wd.com, but is there anything better?

you will still get around just fine with 3:73 and 35" tires. I'm sure the 5:13's are a great upgrade, but don't feel like it's needed to run 35" tires. Mine is fine around town and I have had it going 90 on the freeway. I run atleast 75-80 everywhere on the highway. It's never going to be a sports car.

I have had 33's and 35's . Get the 35's and be happy!

You can regear later when it fits your needs. You will love the 35's trust me!
Yes I have a daily driver.

okay. im lookin at the 35" now, but did you need to buy anything special to fix or adjust the tire pressure sensors, ABS braking, or traction control?
