Sweet. I'm sure there are a **** ton of write ups on it, but how hard would it be to swap into the TJ (how long/how much exp req, etc...)

Yeah, found one on JF for $250, 4.10 gears that in thinking about for TJ bc it has 35 rear. With 33s, 5 sp and 4", I think 4.10 might still be low, but still looking into that. I was thinking about going to 4.56 on TJ too bc im gonna need to re-gear the front when I put the 8.8 on

So I have a boat load of parts that need to go on and I would like your guys help if possible. I can shoot for any weekend in October. It will be at my uncles place in mt. Airy you guys let me know what works for you guys. Plan on doing front coils with spacers, shackles with relocation brackets, trac bar and SYE. Probably take Saturday and Sunday. I'd like to shoot for the first weekend. Can anyone make it??? I'll definitely bring some good beer and will pay for food. Thanks.
