The perfect set up
Ok, here it is, the question EVERYBODY wants an aswer to.....
In You're opinion....
What is the perfect drive line, suspension set up... I.E. lift kits, axles, gears, components, wheels and tires. etc...
Everybody has their perfect set up in mind, without being too long winded, lets have it!
Remember, this is YOU'RE opinion, nobody has the same idea, no one is right or wrong.....

I change my mind every day when I read this forum, but here is today's perfect setup for my X unlimited for my usage.
Teraflex 2.5 coil lift with shocks
Teraflex front lower adjustable control arms
JKS adjustable track bars front and back
spidertrax wheel spacers
stock 32" wheels and tires, drive shafts, etc...
Now I just need to convince my wife it's ~$1500 well spent.
Or I can wait till tomorrow and maybe I will be back to wanting a $129 teraflex leveling kit...

I'm almost there! 
6" Teraflex long arm + a few Daystar pieces, Dynatrac 60s with 5.13 or 5.38 gears, 20x10 wheels + 40"- 42" tires.
As for what else I need/want....I haven't made it all the way through my Jeep catalogs yet and they won't stop printing new ones....ba$tard$

Oh, I don't know. Maybe PortalTek axles w/6:1 ratios and CTIS (no other lift), ARB lockers front and rear, 40" BFG KM2 tires on Rock Monster beadlocks, 7.2 Hemi with a auto transmission strong enough to take it, Atlas 4 speed transfer case. But I haven't thought about it much.
