Thank you everyone,
I have a Chrysler 8.25 in the rear already and a (High Pinion) Dana 30 up front.
I had the local dealer run my vin, that is why I have all the info and I purchased the rig from it's original owner. He is a family friend and owns a parts store...lol. You look under the hood and there is a shiny new alternator, starter, wires...ect..ect. He was anal about replacing everything before it broke. He said he was never stranded in the 237,000 miles he drove it, except for a blow out on the front left tire at 70mph! That was this past January. A couple weeks before I purchased it from him.
I don't have access to rock crawling or any extreme 4X4 action here on Long Island, nevertheless, I am literally surrounded by beaches. I didn't buy my wheeling permits yet cause she ain't lifted. My friends with hooked up rigs say to wheel her stock to get a feel for things, I am afraid I am going to high center on a dune or something stupid w/o lifting it.
Ahh just thinking out loud.
So the general consensus it to LIFT IT HIGH!!!!
could I get a 3.5" without a SYE?
