Twaldron --

Thanks. I am definitely NOT having a 3 inch body lift put on. Here
is what I have decided to do until I get more money together. I have
found both a 2 inch and a 3 inch suspension lift using the spacers
instead of springs. Here is my question --

Would I be better off putting on a 2 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch
body lift with 32 X 11.5 X 15s, or a 3 inch suspension lift and NO
body lift with the same size tires? Would this size tire look "under-
tired" with a 3 inch suspension lift, or would 33s look better? Do I
have to drop the t-case with a 3 inch coil spacer lift?

THANKS

Forgot to mention....the 3 inch spacer lift is a combo of 4 - 2"
spacers and 4 - 1" spacers. Is it safe to stack the spacers like
this? As previously mentioned, I do not do any extreme off roading at
all. 90-95% of my driving is highway. Both the 2 inch and the 3 inch
coil spacer kits come with extended bump stops and new shocks.

OK.....just got off the phone with a major dealership here and was
told that I may not need to upgrade to the 4.11 gears. They mentioned
something about re-gearing the pinion factor thru the jeep's
computer. Anyone heard of this? If so, is it effective?

Twaldron -- HELP

Since you mentioned this......
What exactly are ALL the parts that I need to do the 3.07 to 4.56 gear
conversion? I have come up with needing a 3.73 carrier for the 4.56
gears and Dana 30 Ring and Pinion gears. Again, I have the D30 in
front and D35 in rear. What else do I need?

P.S. You might just win this discussion yet! LMAO
