Help me with my next mods...
Ok guys...I need some help deciding what to do first to my 09 2dr sahara. Eventually all of this stuff will be done, I just need some help on the order.
I have stock rubi wheels and tires with an rc 2.5" coil lift on right now.
Option one:
Clayton 3.5" lift with tom woods shafts front and rear
35-12.5-r17 Toyo open country M/T for stock rubi wheels
LoD Gen 2 rear bumper/tire carrier
C2 axle C gussets
Option two:
Alloy USA grande 30 w/ ARB locker for front
Alloy USA dana 44 rear axles and ARB locker for rear
ORE axle sleeves for front
C2 axle C gussets
Benchmarks dual battery kit
Some other small things...diff covers, compressor, etc...
All of the work will be done myself so labor costs aren't an issue. I'm leaning toward option 2 so that everything will be beefed up and strengthened before I get the 35" tires. What do you think???

Gussets, 35's, gears/lockers, fender trim/flats.
Bumpers whenever you get around to it. Alloys when the stocks break or as you get around to them.
Then the new lift and shafts.

I would do something like this, but from my understanding, with the grande 30 kit, you have to do axles and locker at the same time because it changes the spline count. Not sure if this is correct though???

Good call, don't know the answer. I've decided to stay with open diffs and minimal upgrades on my D30, so haven't bothered to look into lockers much. Guess I don't really see the point of dumping a ton of money into upgrading it and turning the already small R&P into by far the weakest link in the drivetrain.
