But the thing about gearing is once your in there don't you want to do it right the first time and not go back in. Gears, axles, lockers ect...... He doesn't know how much lift or tire yet.

If you are really deadset on getting a lift and your 35s you could get the lift in the link below. It cost 712.00 and shipping will be free. Add your 35s for $950 and you spent $1662. You can come up with another $162.
Once the tires are installed just drive with your OD off when on the highway.
If you decide to regear it will use your entire $1500.
Me personally I would save another $1500 and do it all at once but if you don't mind turning the overdrive off for a while you can do what I suggested above.
Just an idea???

Thanks everyone for the responses and ideas...
I have decided to use about $1200 on the Rock Krawler 2.5" Max Travel System with Bilstein 5100s! I checked my current 33" BFG ATs out and they still have plenty of tread and will be saving money again to get new meats when necessary (probablly 35s, depends on how I feel about this lift with 33s).
Thanks again and I believe that I took the first persons advice and doing it the way I want to the first time! Exact lift I want (with in my personal means) and eventually the tire combo as well!
