Default Running 40" Tires

*I'm no where near able to afford this, just super curious*

If I wanted to run 40" tires on a 4-door Wrangler, what would I need?

i.e: axles, engines, superchargers, driveshafts, suspensions. Anything and everything that would turn a Wrangler into a tall, powerful tank!

Some things I would guess on would be:
-V8 engine upgrade
-Upgraded driveshafts
-Dynatrac ProRock 80 Rear Axle Assembly for Jeep JK
-6" lift with long arms
-Maybe a supercharger modified to fit a Wrangler V8 conversion

Feel free to voice your opinions, I'm just wondering what it would take for me to one day create a beast of a Jeep

Short answer: ton axles,~ 4" lift and flat fenders, adjustable control arms, hydraulic steering assist, a supercharger would be nice but not necessary. A v8 is totally not necessary, but would also be nice and very expensive. There's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Some of the more experienced forum members should be able to help you more.

Do some searching on peoples threads that run 40's that will give you a pretty good idea. Really nothing on your list is needed, it all depends on what you want out of the jeep and how you are going to use it, plus your budget.
