Title: Ideas?
Post by: 95greenjeepyj on February 23, 2008, 12:22:01 AM: Just looking for advice for future next upgrades to my Yj.
It's a 95' with the 2.5. I have a 4" lift. Spring under.. 4:10 gears with Dana 30 front with lockright and the rear is just the 35. I'm running 33" tires. Have a fbtech front bumper with a winch.
what ya think?

It is a lot of work and you need some good knowledge of welding and fabricating to install it

What are you trying to achieve in the end? Daily driver, dedicated trail rig, etc. It is a pretty open ended question.

I know of holes that will swollow 44s

Honestly though, if you stay out of the thick mud around here, a well built rig on 33s will do just fine. Lockers, a winch, and good mud tires will get you pretty far. However, driver skill can get you a lot further than lots of big equipment
