I have got the lift.. What next??
Well I just got the 3" suspension lift and I have a 1" body lift so I have a
total of 4" of lift. I am now debating on bigger tires next (33x12.5x15),
or if I go for a front spool locker.
Is it better to get the extra 1.5" Diff clearance over the extra traction of
the locker or vise versa?
Any (good) input would be greatly appriciated.

Would help if you told us some real specs, like what axles you have

Re: I have got the lift.. What next??
Jeremy,
If your planning on bigger tires, then you'll want to regear first or you'll
be driving a pig on the road and a even worse pig offroad. But it will look
good! Wait save your cash and do it all at the same time otherwise you'll
be doing a half job no matter what you do first. I've been there years ago
and it doesn't work tooo well.
MY 2 centavos FWIW.
