www.Jeepforum.com is an decent forum. I dont know what other Jeep forums are out there besides the XJ forums I am on.
I frequent pirate4x4 occassionally but not too often, i'm not hardcore enough.

Here's the breakdown

I think the stock axles should suffice for the 35's I plan on running but of course I want to go bigger for a little insurance. 9 inch rear, hp dana 44 front.

4.88's

ARB rear possibly or detroit ( If I spend the money on the ARB i'll probably upgrade the rear shafts to 35 spline at the same time )

open front to keep the d30 alive

tube front bumpers to clear the 35's on 4 inches of lift, i refuse to do a body lift, even a 1 inch

I thought about going with 4.56's but I don't think I would be happy, the 3.73's I have now aren't low enough sometimes so I think 4.88's with 35's would be perfect.

As for what lift i'm really up in the air about it, Currie 4 inch SA is winning right now. I really don't want to pony up for a LA kit but who knows.
