I could care less what they said. Bottom line I paid his price and could part the entire jeep out if I wanted. That Jeep was not all that and needed a lot of work. He lied about a bunch of stuff

I am going to 3.5".  Belly just too low for a 4 door.

You could be fine with 2.5" on a 2 door.  Personal Preference.

1st thing needed is a transmission cooler

Why?  No doubt it helps, but I've never had a problem on my 2 JK's.

Evap reloco or skid.

Post by: cru9 on January 21, 2013, 03:52:45 PM
First thing is an Evap skid. They are really exposed on the 2 door

You should replace those factory shafts as soon as you can with any lift.  Just a matter of time.

I've done my front for clearance, and the rear is soon to come...

seeing that he has already had transmission issues with the 4dr I thought it would be a top priority. I never personally had the issue but wheeled with folks that did and we had to wait for them to cool down. I do agree on the evap skid though.

I will do a cooler just to be on the safe side. They are only like $50 not to bad

Sweet Baby Jesus. Love that thing...it's missing something though, oh yeah, rear doors

The front and rear cuts on that thing to clear those tires is just beautiful.

I have the 3.5" (which gave me a tad over 4") and I'm still running factory shafts. No issues after 2 years, not to say I will never have a problem, just no problem yet after ~ 17,000 miles.  One thing to note, the front shaft does not hit the trans as I have a manual not an auto.
