the guy doesnt know what kind of lift it is

i want the cheapest way to run 35s from this point. any help?

To do 35's right it will take more than just a couple grand. Save the worries and stay at 33's.

well look around on the forum but you need to figure out what axles you have what gears, how you want to go about doing it, low center of gravity or more lift take your time don't make decisions you wish you didn't read reviews decide what you need for what your going to do if its any help im working towards a 2 inch old man emu diy high line d 60 rear 44 front 4.56 gears building my own long arm and 35s.

jeeps are the farthest thing from cheap

You could add a 2" BL (not cool), or a 1" BL (cooler) and tube fenders. Or a high line lift.

You will want to check out something like the Currie HD steering setup if you wheel it, and do some kind of brake up grade if you drive it on the street allot. (vanco) You will at least want to have a D44 or 8.8 in the rear. You can probably get by with out re-gearing but you will want to regear. (expensive) Otherwise your mileage, and power will suffer tremendously.

You could be really cheap and not do any of the above... but You will face breakage, and drive ability issues.

Start by finding out if you have a D44 rear axle or a D35. If you have a 44 it will save you quite a bit of money if you plan on running 35" tires.

Tube fenders and you will be fine, Or trim your own and make some tube framed ones, I did and alot cheaper. For what i was going for, They suit me best. Like said though, Stick with 33's, Cheaper to replace too, And most of your parts have to be up-graded to be able to run 35's. You can get away with running them on the road, But off-road something will give quick. Just my opinion, Good luck

why do you want 35's anyway?
