Ok so I am in the process of planning out the next stage of the build. My plan is to get the suspension done next and all dialled in. Please keep in mind that this started as a stock sport 2 door so it still has the stock dana 30/44 with no lockers but those will have to wait ( cash ) and I'll I plan to do is gear them to 4.88
The want is obvious... Evo DTD front and rear with long arm. ( also keep in mind that will cost about $12,000 with the great canadian tax.... Just for parts )
So the time is now spent looking at cost cutting measures.
Leaning towards either:
1- metal cloak mid arms ( duroflex joints and both upper and lower front and rear ) this would be the least expensive both in parts and labour
2- full traction bolt on 3/4" long arm upgrade ( still about $450 less than the ORE long arms by the time I get them to me and pay the tax )
I daily drive this vehicle and sees highway use. I am looking for an end result that can handle the high speed runs over washouts and whoop di doos without looking back ( and beat all others ) and still be able to do rock crawling with the best. ( some pretty wicked trails about 3 hours from me )
I could just buy a game changer kit as that would save about 7 grand... More if I include labour for the install on the lever and that would get me a new fully built front axle and redo the rear with lockers....
Hope Eddie chimes in here as well as anyone who actually has this on a 2 door
( want there a guy on the JKX this year with a full metal cloak game changer? How'd it do?)
