Your stock axles are not up to 37s. You would need a chrysler 8.25 minimum or Dana 44 in the rear and new chrome moly front axle shafts in the front. And regear to at least 4.88 or 5.13 or you will thing you are driving a sick dog.

suspension while should be good but look into control arm drop brackets or it will be a rough ride, also good shocks will help
Also if you do not have a Slip Yoke Eliminator with CV Driveshaft,,, wouldnt recommend riding without it with 6" of lift

man I have an 85 2 door thats not running, and I don't have 6" of lift in it. You scored with that deal. If the 85's got a 4.0 then keep it, but if it has the 2.8L then switch the lift over into the 94. I bought my 2.8L in exactly the same condition, minus the lift, with the needing a new fuel pump, pouring gas in the carb to show that it runs thing...aaand I've been pouring money into for things that are lame ever since
