Upgrade an Euro JK CRD
When I have my jk I wish like upgrade it a little. If i don't find a manual Rubi it's provably that I'll buy a Sport + off road equipment (includes rear locker + electronic front sway bar disconnect, etc ) I'm thinking about lift 3" with a great flex and run 35" basically. I will make it one but make it right and don't have problems.
This car will be for a DD. user and go for 4wheeling and I wish it will be polyvalent for all.
What about a Full traction premium flex with gas monotube shocks? it is worth paying a bit more and get the FT ultimate? I wish a good drive as similar as stock. With this lift I must change drive shafts if finally I get a 2doors? I've read some guys that has had problems about this...
Another question is about the weight of the engine that I suppose that it will be heavier. The springs will support this extra weight or may tend sagging a lot ? I don't know the weight difference but i think that not will be more than put a winch with a steel bumper; with the difference that the engine weight isn't in the top.
And the last question, I don't remember what gear set has the jk sport crd, but one thing is sure: I will must regear. Bearing in mind that turbo diesel has a lot of torque what do you think about 4'88 to run 35's ?
I wait for yours commentaries and suggestions and I hope that they will be profitable.
Sorry for my poor english

hola xavi saludos desde mexico, si quieres yo te puedo contestar algunas de tus preguntas en espaņol, al igual se que otros lo haran en ingles. los jk no son tan complicados, yo tengo algo de experiencia con diferentes jeep y te puedo decir que nunca habia sido tan facil instalar lllantas 35. en realida todo lo que necesitas son 4 resortes 4 amortiguadores y un track bar, para levantar tu jeep, o aun mas facil un bb de 2.5. y ya con eso puedes ponerle llantas mas grandes. claro hay kits mas completos, pero esto es lo basico. no es necesario cambiar brazos para levantar 3 pulgadas.
