I still have to figure out how to stash the funds so the wife (BS in Accounting) doesn't suspect anything.

How high is the lift and what size are the tires and rims?

So everyone recommends at least a 3 inch lift.  Just remember that I have to be able to get the kids and the wife in and out of it.  I will start looking around for a 3" suspension lift.  What size tires will that allow?


At any rate, which ever way you go, we will gladly help you out. I have personally put a Rock Krawler 7" long-arm triangulate 4-link onto a TJ, and there is a lot more experience in the club. We will be happy to help.

WHAT????

What I was saying is I put a 7" lift kit in a 2004 Wrangler. It was manufactured by Rock Krawler (www.rockkrawler.com). It was a 7" X-factor kit. It is a long arm kit that replaces all control arms in the suspension, and in the rear it triangulates them (makes a triangle shape instead of all the arms being parallel) so you do not need a track bar. That gives you a lot more flex in the rear. But mostly what I was getting at is I have experience lifting TJ's and am more than willing to help.
