TJ LIFT KIT -- HELP PLEASE
 

Hello all. I know you've probably heard this question a million
times, but here goes. I have a 2006 Wrangler X with the 6 speed
manual tranny and A/C. I want to lift my jeep, but I don't want to
spend a lot of money on replacing the CV driveshaft and SYE kit. My
goal is to fit 33 X 10.5 or 33 X 11.5 tires on my jeep. Here are the
two options I am considering:

1. If I get a 2 inch suspension lift and 1 inch body lift, would I
need to replace the driveshaft and SYE? Can I fit the above
mentioned
tires with that setup?


2. I am also considering a 3 inch suspension lift and 1 inch body
lift. Would I need to replace the driveshaft or SYE if I go this
route? Can I still fit the above mentioned tires?


What parts do I absolutely need to have in the lift kits to prevent
future problems with either lift? I do NOT plan on doing extreme
wheeling -- just a splash in the mud and some occasional trails. This
is my daily driver, and I do a lot of highway driving. Can someone
recommend a good reliable lift kit that includes both the suspension
lift and the body lift?

THANKS

Sorry, but I forgot to ask....if I go with either lift, can I use the
coil spring spacers or is replacing the springs better? Do I need to
replace my shocks, or can I get the 'shock extenders'?
