on my 97 ZJ I installed the RC budget lift, it was a front to back lift. it worked well, and was worth the cost. I wouldn't plan on going bigger then 31's though. if your search my posts I have a few videos and pics of it.

You'll need a ton of trimming, longer bump stops, shocks, axles, gears etc etc

for a front to rear swap i did mine with a set of 3.5 XJ front coils, and put my stocks in the rear. thats it, and didnt notice much of a difference on the ride. the only thing i did HAVE to do and notice most people almost have to do is Extended LCAs. but im riding on a 31 and can run a 33s procomp M/T with very very little trimming, but a 36 you might as well just take the fenders off and cut the back of the jeep off. for a 36 you might wanna do a little more researching and go a little higher. or when you do the swap. throw in some 2 in spacers ontop and a set of shocks. gl

What shocks did you go with? The ones with the kit?

i dont think you would be able to drive on flat road with 36s and a 3.5 lift, let alone any kind of off road flexing
