Hey folks new the jeep world
 

Hey folks thanks for having me. So I am about to bring home a 1995 jeep Yj that has the 2.5 in it backed by a manual trans With 78'000 kms on her Basically she's never been broken in yet. Its in great shape. So I've been scratching my head on what to do with it lol so here is the following ive come up with now please keep me mind I'm looking for advice and wisdom here lol I've been around vehicles my whole life just never owned a jeep.

The following is what I have planed.

I want to use this as a daily ride but also go camping and use it on trails and some light overlanding ( no im not going to rock crawl it or go mudding in it)

I plan on only running 35's

So my biggest concerns are the following

Engine swap
Front axle
Rear axle
Transfer case
Lift

So lets start with the engine lol in my driveway I have a 02 chevy suburban with a 5.3 LS and auto transmission. So there lol thats one thing out of the way besides the wiring harness lol

Now the axles are making my head spin lol What would you folks recommend? I know theres kits out there to beef up the D30? And 8.8

I do have a ford 8.8 with LS and 410 gears.

What i would like is a complete parts list to beef these axles up of possible as I have no clue when it comes to axles lol

Now the Transfer case seeing how i wont be using the suburban one lol what you recommend as its replacement?

Lastly lol the lift kit. Would be BDS be ok?

Anyways thats it folks please go easy on me am new to this lol

Thanks for the help in advance

I'm a little confused on what axles and gears are in it right now? I had a friend (had I say rest his soul is jeeping in Heaven) hes has a
YJ same year as ur's and put a 4" supension lift and 2 " body lift and complained on a windy day it was heck trying to stay on the road,
so maybe u would not go higher than 4" supension makes it a little more stable he also did a spring over, again that added to his height
He kept the 2.5. I will add more shortly
