4) half doors!


do you guys have any suggestions?

I would wait with tires till the lift. You will be disappointed with 33's. Plus some 33's are smaller in size. Bare min. 35" and if you regear to 5:13 go 37". The look is much better.

If I do get 35s wouldn't I have to reinforce the axels? I just don't want to risk dw since the warrenty will most likely void with regear/35s fucking you chrystler!

You could be easy on the skinny to start with no $$$, weld the C's, Inner axle tube's, stronger axle's cost's $$$.

Never mind I just noticed that u have a 2 door. IF I were u I would get 33's and MAYBE lift it. Reason I say this is because I have a 4 door and with a 4 door u basically have to have 35's on it because then it actually looks good. With a 2 door u can get away with 33 and it still look bad ass. May a 2 inch lift, no higher. This way u don't have to worry about gears. Instead get a Superchip and u will be all set to now just concentrate on assesories like bumpers and other stuff. Actually another benefit of 33's is that u may not even need a tire carrier. 33's!!!!!!

Viking, that is a sweet looking 2 door! The proportions and the color scheme look great.
