I just ordered a 4.5 inch lift kit from rough country. ::woot:: I should get it by Tuesday. I hope I can have it installed by Tuesday night. I'll post some pictures after the lift. 8-)
Awesome.
Good deal, Congrats on the new lift!! :D
Thanks!
cant wait for the pics ::Jeep::
I don't know much about TJ's but with going to a 4 1/2 lift, are you going to need to buy an SYE on your transfercase? I know with my XJ I am going to have to and it is a longer wheel base. Although I never but an SYE on my old YJ when I but a 4 in lift on it.

I don't have the TJ anymore :( I got an XJ and that's what I'm putting the lift on :D About the SYE, I was talking to the guy I got the lift from and he works in a off road shop and he told me to get a YJ's slip yoke and put that on my XJ's drive shaft. He said the YJ's is longer. Then I don't have to use a SYE. I hope he is right but if not them I'll get a SYE. He works in K-zoo @ Grizys (or something) off road shop. He holds the rock challange at Turtle Ridge.

you can drop the case and use a yj slip yoke (you'll need to drop the case at 4.5" or the yolks will knock together and you wont go very fast) but i would go SYE right from the get go, deffinatly worth the money. and if you need to save some you can always use a stock xj front driveshaft with an SYE, that way you wouldnt have to drop $$$ on a custom shfat

I'm thinking about doing the SYE in it but can't do it right away. Money is tight!
