Hello . I am a first time user, I am considering a Super Lift 5.5 lift for my 91 4wd X, also Super Lift radius arms and steering linkage,I have 15 x 7 alluminum rims and was going to get 33-15-9.5 BF mud terrains? what do you guys think? see any problems?
Thank YOu

First off, gonna wheel real heavy with it? if so, spend your time and money up-front doing a solid axle swap, otherwise you'll be constantly replacing broken superlift parts. If it's just for looks, superlift is fine.
I wouldn't put 33s on stock rims (they are too narrow) but I have seen it done before and they seem to do ok...
 






Matt nailed it, take a look around and see whose setup you like, a solid axle isn't too spendy when you compare it to lifting, breaking and wishing you would have done it right away. I searched and searched and still wish I would do things different. As for the uses, if you arent making a hard core wheeler out of it, then I think the smart choice would be a 6" skyjacker, while it is apart put 4.10 gears, a rear disc axle out of a newer model, 33's on a 15x8 rim and you will have a nice functional setup rightaway. I definetily think extended radius arms are worth it, I wish I had them.
