welp where to sink your money is in direct ocordinace with what you want to do with the jeep wether its going to be a mud bogger,a rock crawler,an all around trail vehicle,if its going to be driven on a trailer to your favorite wheeling spot or drove there,write a long post let us know what your looking to achieve and do with it so we can better advise you,(i have just joined this month myself and theese guys have already saved me a pile of money)

Thanks. Well I want to have a all around jeep, good on the trail and good on the road. But right now I'm working on a limited budget, I would like to go high, with a good set of tires, But I dont know which is better, body lift or suspension lift. I'm new to all this.I've been told that I can't go with a big tire because of the lack of power. So any suggestions is welcome.

ok well, with that in mind first off you dont have to go high with a jeep to go alot of places,because of jeeps short wheel base they will go just about anywhere wtih mild modification,as far as your tire size being that your limited in the pony department, i would say regear it and run 33's,now your lift, a body lift raises your center of gravityand allows for more fender clearance,a suspension lift gives you more ground clearance and more tire travel, i think with the 2.5 33's a 3"suspension lift,and maybe a slight regear, will probally take you where ever your heart disires,and if your budget builds add on to it give her a body lift axle upgrades, lockers, even bigger tires,a engine swap, whatever ,mine has a 2"body,3"suspension,on 35/12.50's, but im running the 4.0 high output engine,lift kits can be found at a fairly small price, at say 2-5" range check out quadratec.com or 4wheelparts.com, look at your budget and look at what is offered and go from there!
