Hey all! I have an 2- Door Rubicon, O7, and want to lift and put tire this spring/summer. The most i am looking at lifting is 3" and 35" tires. My question is this, if i went this way what other things will i need to change? Axels? Gears? Drive shafts?...etc?

Also, i know i want to go with either MT Classics or Classic locks, but i am not sure what size i should go with, any help? Then, what 2-3" lift is going to give me the most bang for my buck? I am thinking a BB or an economical 3", any info?

This is my daily driver, will off-road it though, but not real rough. I live in LP of Michigan and it's kinda crappy.

To run 35's on a budget, I'd do the Teraflex BB (since it's 2.5"). Since you have 4.10 gears, you can get by without regearing, but you may find that you'd rather upgrade. It's personal preference. You also shouldn't need any other drivetrain mods to run this. I haven't really researched the economy (non-BB type) lifts, so I won't comment on those.

I have installed Full Traction 3" Ultimate suspension with MT Baja Claw 35" and MT Classic II wheels 17 Inch and Full traction mono hydrate shocks with heavy duty steering stablizer. Dont settle for cheap suspension its the best. Mine is a daily driver and off road weekends. The ride is extremely better than stock. Adjustable bars etc. Go for it>>>>>>>>>

I have a question that has nothing to do with the topic and might be dumn. Do the automatics always come with the 4:10?

Yes, Automatics come with 4:10's. Now we take you back to your regular scheduled thread.

Yea sorry about that, thanks papa. But on topic, if it's your daily driver dont even worry about the 35's, 33's can do just as well off road as the 35's and require less of a lift or maybe not even a lift at all if thats how you feel.
