Also you have the NP241 T case. Worst case you might need to replace your rear drive shaft with a slightly longer one.

Opps, didn't know he had a rubicon. Missed that part, lol. Good catch Bob.

Carolina Driveline makes custom built One offs for Rubicons. He's aparantly pretty well known. I wound up beating mine up pretty good and took it to a shop in San Diego. The guy knew instantly who made it. It cost me about 250 - 300 the first time around to buy it. Took about 2-3 days to arrive from when I ordered it.

Another thing to consider would be Rock Krawlers 3.5" X Factor Short Arm Suspension System . It will allow for 33's right now and is fully upgradable to a long arm system later if you decide to go that route. This way you dont have any money "lost" if you decide to go bigger later. And once upgraded, you can run either 3.5" or 5.5" springs. I'm running their 5.5" X-Factor on my Rubicon and it's probably one of the best suspensions I've ever bought. Plus, their Tech Support is phenominal and it has an "Abuse Proof Lifetime Warranty"

Just food for thought. It's pretty comparably priced and having owned both brands, IMO, a significantly better product than Skyjacker. If this isn't something you're doing in the immediate future, I'll be back in May and you're more than welcome to come out on a trail with me and see how it does before you purchase one way or the other.

yo noob, chill out with the harsh words and foul language like skyjacker. fabtech and procomp and super lift. Eewwwey. Those are ugly words too. I have to say, i'm with runningtrails on this one, and then some. You should seriously consider Rock Krawler, Clayton, TNT customs, and (if they ever re=open thier shop) Rubicon express, and maybe even Teraflex. I know, i priced them all myself as well, and your new to the game, so i understand. Oooh, bright shiny red coil springs. Dont buy based on the fact that they post there crap in every magazine on the shelf. You wont find any mallcrawler adds in any mag for clayton, rock krawler or tnt; Rubicon Express does advertise, but they deserve to. You may spend less at first, but you will regret it in he long run. The 5 GOOD brands that i called out, will have an unmatched amount of quality that the other run of the mill brands could not even come close to. Pluss, if and when, you are unsatisfied with or you break something (you eventully will) these "Jeep Only" gurus are much more able to and willing to help and taylor orders to you needs. Save your self the time and money and headache by doing it right with quality parts the first time. That includes Shocks as well. I recommend nothing less than Bilstien's. Personally i would go with simple FOX 2.0 SHOX. there a little pricey, but they are totally rebuildable, and will probably outlast the tranny. ;D . Oh and if you mention Rough Country, I will fly back to providence, drive to Groton. and burn you Rubi to the ground myself. Dont mean to sound a little blunt, but i feel like i caught you tip-toeing towards alot of headaches. You have a Rubi, wheel it like hell, but with good parts. ok newbie? ok. Just my $.02 :P
