Ok, then the 6.5 or 8 inch iron rock offroad long arm kit. It's completely bolt on and under 2 k. 4.56 gears and the ax-15 seem to go well with 35s. You might as well lock Ur axles, but that's a whole other battle of what to get and what people like and.cost.

Iron rock supports the 8.8 swap better than most companies so you might find some goodies for that axle.

Also food for thought would be crossover steering, otk steering, trussing axles, rock rails, unibody strengthening, new drive shafts, ball joints, u joints, etc.

If your gunu run 35s and not hand out at the mall...
Gear your jeep. And if your going to jack it to the sky, put long arms on it.... And if you wanna wheel it, lock the rear would always be an option. You've already for the sye so that's good.
Good luck not going broke lol
That's all off us

Team no cash!!!!!!

What do you mean straighten the front chassis?

I had some steel plates welded to reinforce the chassis where the front suspension area is at.cause I heard the chassis can stress fracture over time.

You will spend money dude. 100 here 100 there a few hundred in anther spot. Next thing you know your at 16000 like me!!! But now mine is done except some few cosmetics.

I have 4.5 RC x series. Rebuilt motor. Rebuilt ax15. New 231 w/ sye. New rear driveshaft. Rebuilt front drive shaft. 4:56 gears. New trac lock in the rear. New u joints ball joints. Seals. And everything that attaches to the motor is brand new. With 35s and steelies.

Now the parts didn't all cost that much. Some are trial and error where I don't have some things anymore like the 33s lol. Some stuff I had done at a shop which i had to pay for labor. But it all gets pricey. The cheapest part was the lift at just shy of 1g lol.
