So, if things go as planned, i will be picking up a 2015 JKU when i return home from my deployment. I am trying to do a lift, gears and at least a front locker and a rear Tru Trac at a minimum. I put the Rubicon Express 3.5 Super Flex Short Arm on my 2008 JK with 35's and loved it. I don't see many people talking about the RE lifts on here. Is there a better one for the price? I like that it includes all new control arms and trac bar, plus they are nice and beefy parts with rebuildable joints.
Then, i am going to throw in some 4.88 gears(jeep will be 6Speed) and want to do a Eaton Locker up front and a Tru Trac out back. Good? Bad? better idea for the price?? i am still debating between 37" and 35" tires, leaning towards 37's.. I have contemplated starting my own small off road recovery business and want to make sure i can make it anywhere someone may get stuck(within reason) figuring anyone that would be stuck would not have a setup like mine, i.e. winch, locker and 37's.. I am open to any and all advice. This rig will also be my daily driver, but i live 2 miles from work, with the potential of moving maybe to 10-15 miles from work.. I am open to all opinions and options to make this happen. My budget will be around 6K.. Is it even doable? The lift i will do myself and would like to attempt the gears, but would be my first set. I am a big DIY guy, but am not ASE or anything. I am actually an aircraft mechanic in the AF and can do almost anything that there are instructions for. Just a little hesitant as it will be my primary vehicle and walking to work in the winter in Utah sucks!! So, let me hear your thoughts please!!
Thank you!
