Treat your self and your jeep to a little dirt. You don't want to just look bad ass, you need to know it's bad ass.

But if on road handling is what you want, Old Man Emu gives a very nice ride (Better than stock and wife approved). There might be a used one in the for sale section.

My jeep is just a DD and prob won't see much off road time more of a show off in town!! Im going with 35s also

If thats your reason the least expensive way to put 35's on it would be a 2" BB & 1" BL.

Ok so as long as you buy a complete suspension lift kit the only other thing you have to do is buy a front drive shaft? I was looking at getting a teraflex four inch lift. I know ill need different gears as well but im just curious about whats required to safely run the four inch lift.

Just order it directly from Ben(he's the RC rep on here) and he can get you hooked up with everything you'll need, including their body lift! He seems like a great guy and their customer service is top notch! The ebay price is the same as their regular price. See if Ben can help you out with a price break on something when you talk to him!
