6" lift?
im thinkin about getting a 6" lift with 37's. is it too much of a lift? im mostly on the trails and mud, but met with a challenge, i dont want to be stopped. i want it to look as angry as it should act. what do you think? any pointers or pics?

I'm not a seach nazi but if you check the search there is a bunch of info on it.
Do you have a 2dr or 4 dr, are you going to re-gear, what are your current gears? do you have alot of $$ casue you will need it.
Long arms are your friends, so are new rims.
Are you going to get a super charger or hemi swap?
if not do you plan on driving on the Highway at all?
Your going to need new drive-shafts and extended break-lines, as well as a lot more odds and ends.
in the end it will cost you a jeep worth of parts and accessories.

Just do some lurking for pics and make up your mind, also put what you got in your post or sig.
With a 4 door that would look good and be OK on most hills. I would not advise that height or tire size with a 2 door. Look at some roll-over vids and you'll see why low COG (center of gravity) is becoming/became the next wave.
This is where the JK shines over the TJ.... you can fit a larger tire under her with out much lift.

thats way to tall of a lift for a two door IMO its over 6"
you should consider the 4"
this is a 3" long arm, If I had a 6" lift on this hill, It wouldnt have been pretty

That 6" kit on a 2 dr will be a monster. You might want to consider a 3" LA kit with that 2dr and 37's. You could even do a 2.5" LA on it to really keep the COG down. If you have questions, call me.
