there's no need for a huge lift like 4-6" for running 35's...

if ya use a 2.5" along with a body lift under 2" and a mortor mount lift to avoid drasticly modifying the fan shroud, you'll eliminate the need for the slip yolk eliminator for the t-case and a cv driveshaft.

read through the tj / lj suspension recomendations thread.
you'll find most every thing ya need explained, then if theres something still unclear, just ask more questions... so some more research before ya buy a huge poor handling lift.

I run 34's under a slightly modified 2.5" rancho suspension lift with the flex of a 4.5"

Have fun shopping and don't rip yourself of by finding cheaper ways to do things just save and take your time and things will work out better for you.

no, you will need another $600 worth of parts to get rid of a driveline vibration istead fo the mml and body lift.

slip yolk elimiator conversion for the t-case that requires the removal and complete tear down of the t-case to instal and a constant velocity drive shaft. both around 300 buck each + installation costs.

at 4"'s a t-case drop isn't sufficient to get rid of driveshaft vibs or contend with the binding during articulation.

I also don't like body lifts, stay under two inches, and theres not any problems created that can't be addressed easily.
