Default Re: Need Someone to teach me the ropes

What's your budget? What do you plan on doing? Just going on the beach occasionally, playing in the mud, or doing actual rock crawling? For just playing on the beach a small 2" suspension budget boost can put 32s and be fine. From there your gonna be spending some dough. This is also where the 4 cylinder starts to be a pain. Trust me, I know. You can go with 4" suspension that will let you fit 33s comfortably and you can still stick with your 4.11 gears if you want to. 33s are also the limit on your rear axle (dana35) especilly if you got a LSD or locker. From there you can do a body lift(which I hate) or get a 6" suspension or go all out and do 8". You can then fit up to round 36 depending on additional body lift and trimming. Now you need a new rear axle and the front(dana30) I wouldn't trust past 35s. Also need a slip yoke eliminator for the tcase and regear the axles. Not to mention all the little things to get a little more power outta the motor and all the stuff you wanna add along the way like lights.

You won't need much for any trails in Virginia. The closest place I consider "trails" is either Rausch Creek up in PA, or Uhwarrie down in NC. Then again, I'm mostly into rocks. Like I said, it all depends on your budget and what you want to do.
