Well, that one website should have it, and either way, I found that exact kit on craigslist for $300. They bought it and used it for a couple months and decided to go bigger, so I might pick that up.
With a 3.5" lift will I be ok with 32" tires or should I go with 31 or 30?

Ranger rims do the same thing as jeep ones and I have always found them cheaper. Part of it may have been I already had a set

SYE or no SYE???
I've read quite a few of these pages. The "lift" Thread was a great idea, but ar 20+ pages, it's hard to research in an organized method. I'll try to ask what I'm looking for here.
99 Sport 4x4, 137K mile on it and I'm the new daddy. I want a lift. I've learned to avoid AAL. I really don't want to go above 31" in the distant future due to tire cost and wanting reasonable gas mileage and a reasonable ride for a lifted truck.
Reading online and on some vendor's website has me thinking I NEED a SYE for a 2" BB. I am terrified to go through all the work lifting this thing and have vibrations (My old car had BAD vibrations that I spent thousands of dollars chasing down that never got cured-so I don't want to take a non vibratory jeep and screw it up)
Do I need a SYE for a 2" lift? Most will say no I hope.
Do I NEED a SYE for a 3" lift
Do I need a SYE for a 3.5" lift?
I don't plan on going higher than that. I don't know if vendor are trying to scare you into buying a SYE in leiu of a T-case drop. Is there a reason why a T-case drop wouldn't work and you would NEED to do a SYE at 3.5" lift?
Last but not least, if I keep my stock 15" wheels, will I be able to run 30" tire w/o spacer?
Thank you so much!

Not saying you didn't need one but why bother going the ghetto route of TC drop which will have to be changed to SYE anyways at some point down the line? Easier just to get it over with

unless he is just unlucky he shouldn't need either...even some of the 242s get away with no drop got a buddy running 4.5" on his without vibes or a drop or SYE.

I'm at 4.5 and instead of using a tc drop I ordered a new crosmember from rusty's, it has a 1 inch drop built into the center section and u don't lose any ground clearance. And it is beefy!!
