Lifting advice $

[kent10sne1]

I wonder if the 4 door stuff would fit my 2 door?  anyone?  if so, i think we can work it out.  just need to come up with the cash..  I do also need to measure to make sure it would fit.  still on my 33's.   
as i prob. wont move to 35's because of $$ and im still on 3.21 gears.

Yes it will fit. It may sit higher on a 2 door. Also being a 2 door depending on how high you go you will need to change drive shafts but that is a good change for wheeling anyway. Factory DS are horrible

I'm sure it will fit but it will probably be too tall for your needs. I forgot you're in a 2 door, sorry.

Jeeps are famous for that.  You have to buy a part to make the part you bought work.

My advice start looking a pictures of 2 doors that you like the way they sit and start building from that. If your not happy with the look and the performance it's wasted money because you will tear it apart and rebuild it until your happy

Screw all that. If you want to keep it simple and be plenty capable Keep your 33's, lock the front, skid plate the oil pan and ride it like that. Dont get caught up on lift and tires and all that jazz right now. It cost a lot and you will spend your months/years waiting and wanting the next part to make it just a little better or "complete" a step. When I had a stock 4 door Rubicon those lockers changed the world and I was just on the stock 32's. Even i sometimes wish I would have slowed down with my LJ and done things different but I have done drilled and chopped the body and it will be forever what it is now.

I can speak from exp and many guys here will second... Once you get the lift you will want 35's, period. THem 33's will look goofy. So you get 35's and now you need gears because the 3.21 will be crazy so now thats another 1300. Then with 35's you need to address steering issues so a few hundred there. And then you will stand want a locker but with the weight of 35's now you probably should look at axle shafts... All of this doesnt take into accound with the lift getting drive shaft and maybe better shocks, ect.

lol  you guys..  thats why i put advise.

personally, i dont really care how stiff it is on the road, i like my 33's , but the bouncing scares me, i dont mind rubbing some, as why i want to protect some of the parts under.. 

if i do the lift, it wont be over 3 i think and i am thinking if a stearingstablizer would be good to get now, if i dont plan on a lift anytime soon.  seems i heard lots of good things on the SS
this past weekend....

  

lots of good advice here, keep it coming, i need lots of input.

On the steering stabilizer. Biggest problem is on the JK it hangs under your tie rod. Get the relocation bracket and raise it above. Problem solved
