Thats what I was thinking, I just need to determine if I will gain the lift I want with the RE 3.5 vs. my setup I have now. I am thinking It def. will, especially w/ the 4banger/softtop combo on my jeep. Essentially I want to be able to run 33x10.5 Swamper TSL's when I replace my 32's.

I heard that a MML on a 4banger is a BAD IDEA. hear they cause really bad vibes to the point where people have actually taken them out after install. I've been thinking about doing the same to my 4banger but after hearing all the bad stuff i chose not to. I assume the best MML for the 4 banger is the JKS spacer, because it keeps the stock MM's, but we all know what happens when we assume stuff. I say go with the suspension lift.

BFG's measure out pretty close true to size right? 33 in. Swamper TSL radials shouldnt be too big of a difference.

Ok that was funny.
i think they measure close but i never put a ruler on them. but i really wouldn't worry to much about it. i am sure you would be ok, would i lie about a thing like this? sides if your not rubbin' your tires are to small. ha-ha

I have been looking at other sites trying to get a feel of what 33's with the RE kit would look lke, i think Id have plenty of room. I guess i should just do the suspension and get rid of the sort of 1/2 a** set-up I have now.
I need to find someplace on line with a good deal w/ shocks included.

Good setup, the 3.5 gave a little more than 4" for me, but i have winch, 6 cyl, hardtop, tire carrier, gas tank skid, ect. I found my cheapest price from dc4wd.com, which he has the 3.5" standard for $375 not including shocks and shipping. You need to email or call him for prices tho. Red rock 4x4 has it for 580 inc shocks and shipping at redrock4x4.com

I may have to check out this Bluemagic place of which you speak...is it a 4WD store? never heard of it...
and yeah Derek, i remember you saying you got way more than 3.5" from yours, and I would imagine my jeep is quite a bit lighter, so it should be pretty cool. What T-case drop did you use?

Paul at BlueMagic is an awesome guy. He can get almost anything you want/need.
He's right down the street from me, too ;D
No, he isn't a 4x4 shop, more of a Speed/Truck/4x4 store.
