    3.5" lift.... If you want,, add a body lift... but 3.5" lift is perfect. 33" tires and you are ready for small trails and hunting roads...

      X2! The best combo as said is 3.5" suspension lift, a 2" body lift, and 33" tires, 33X12.50 on 15X10 rims. Very streetable, looks great, low center of gravity, easy to do, and plenty of clearance for trails. This is the one I built for my son who drove it last week for the first time. I have two more, one I will sell soon and the third for me.

          3.5 with some 33's is a good DD.

          All you have to change is the pitman arms and break lines going from the frame to the axle. If you dont plan on doing some wheeling with it the stock e brake cables should be fine,. if not change those out. A nice upgrade to do is just buy some extended radius arms with the lift. You have to weld on a braket to the frame but im sure you can offer someone beer to burn a few welds. It bolts up first so you can take it to someone. Drive shafts should work.
          Nothing to extreme to do with a nice set up from www.WildHorses4x4.com
          I am running a WH 3.5 lift with a WH 2"Body lift with 33's and i do fine. I have heard some people say that they wish the had gotten the 3.5 lift.

          But you should check out some of the build threads on here and tell me that reading those doesnt make you wanna build a crawler. hahahaha


          Are you running an auto or manual?

              For now, I have a 2 1/2 suspention lift with a 1" body lift on 31's. I just got some 33's but haven't had a chance to try them. If I was you, I'd go bigger to start with because it seems everyone winds up going bigger eventually!

                3.5" susp. and 2" body on 33's is a perfect setup for moderate trail, hunting and street use. Mine was like that and that combo doesn't create a lot of headaches. Then you get greedy and go to 5.5" of lift and 35" or 37" tires and BAM!!!! There goes the bank account!!! Been there, done that so it's all in what your really going to use it for.... Pops

                  the one with the auto i would swap out the tranny for something different. The NP435 is the stock three speed and a STUPID low first gear (4 gears total). There is the ZF and NV4500 that has an overdrive to it too. But the NP435 is the best bag for you buck. and the low gear gets anything done

                  Pops what are you talking about "Moderate" use hahahaha 3.5 is the best !!!
