Ok I got one month and some change left over here (iraq sucks). And i this is the plan. 4" superlift in the front, crank a little on the torsion bars and a SOA in the rear. put a 3" BL on it while home on R&R. regear.

Ok this is what i got.

SOA perches / thanks brett.
4.56 gears for front and rear
rear diffy protection - decided to go with the half spider from purple cranium

front and rear driveshaft plan to get done locally. and pickup the superlift kit from summit on the way to michigan.

Will be doing some moderate wheeling (wont attack trees anymore), and maybe a trip to silverlake while on leave.. uwharrie and tellico while at bragg, then out to texas, and whatever i find there.

ok this is the question, what else while i have it torn apart should i replace now to make life easier later.. ball joints? anything besides lockers i am missing to make this lift easier.. and no sas for now (even tho the wife did just total the jeep and its sitting in the garage at home...)
 






Ball joints may be good. I've had two lower ones go out in the past year. Looks like you will have a lot of lift on that D35 -- what tires are you going to run?

thinking of fitting or attemping to fit 35', i like the wide look and might attempt a set of 13.50's (i know snap, crap, wrench, snap, crap again, wrench again). Haven't decided on a brand yet, most of the time i pick tire from the local shop, whatever's cheaper type thing. but i will actually be shoping around and reading reviews this time.
