1" crossmember drop, coil spacers/shackles would get you up to where you want easily, did the exact same thing for a while, and 33/10.50's are gunna be about the same weight as a 32/11.50

I hate you guys so much. I might as well just go up and run 33s and then swap axles when tax returns come in

I usually have no problem slicing and dicing, but this is my DD for a while so I have this dream of it actually staying pretty hahaha

My two options are drop down to 31s and stay at 3" of lift or go up to 4/4.5" and run 33s. I cannot find a good deal on 31s for the life of me but I found a guy with 33x10.50R15 BFG ATs for $100.

I'm iffy on going up because then the gearing becomes more of an issue and the possibility of needing an SYE is higher. What do you guys think?
Go big or go home. Haha no really, I've ran my 4.5 inch kit on but my xj's and haven't had any issues with my driveline. No sye kit either.
That's just my opinion. Hope it helps.
