WJ build ideas

I sold my xj and got myself a 99 wj limited with the quadra drive transfer case. Vari lok axles. And a mean v8. 4.7 powertech. Bored 30 over. K&n intake. Magnaflow muffler. Short skirt pistons. Completely rebuilt motor. This this thing screams. Now I'm thinkin lift kit and wheels. What do you all recommend?

Go to the Extreme 4x4 show site and see what they did to a WJ.

This is more off a maintence idea. I have a 02 wj overland with quadra drive and vari lok axles. They work great if maintaned. First thing I would do is change the transfer case fluid with the correct fluid available from your jeep dealer only. Second, change your diff fluidwith 75/140 synthetic and add friction modifier. Keeps your axles and t case happy. I don't have any lift on mine yet and am running 245/70/17s general grabber a/t 2 on factory wheels. Love mine.
