I bought the Superlift Truspeed used off of ebay, if you go to there website you can see the model that's used for the TJ, there also used for Dodge Rams and several other vehicles.
You only need it if your speedo is off, it's not dead on from the factory to begin with, depending on what gears and tire size you end up with it might be closer then it was stock.
It was worth the extra money for me, but most things usually are, I did go 4.5" with a TT so I didn't want to mess around.
I think your going to be fine with 3.25" and a TT to use a standard SYE.
The JB SS SYE is 3" shorter then a standard SYE.

So...5-6 inches worth of suspension lift, 2 inches of TT with the UCF is a total of about 7-8" of movement....I should be fine with with RE UCR's and this...?? Seems to be a pretty decent price for Terraflex

 Lol...yeah, I saw that, some pee-on probably typed it up for his boss...but.....they have pretty decent feedback, and its a name brand....so I figure it can't be too bad of a deal.

Actually the jeep I want to hear more about it's Blaine's wife's jeep. From the snippets I've heard, it is the best handling, best stopping DD TJ on 35s.

661, do us a favor and take more pics close up, show everyone what UCF is shipping out. Im sure the welds are just as good as pics I provided, but it would be great to see what they are sending to the average joe so people know what they will get. Do a write up and provide us with a link.

Yes please do so 611. My wife just told me to buy a tummy tuck skid  , and I'm strongly considering this one. I'm slightly concerned with the thickness though as I was originally going to go with 1/4" steel. I don't feel 3/16" steel is enough of an upgrade from stock, and my stock one is got some good dents in it. I would feel better about 3/8" aluminum, but maybe I'm being silly.

1/4" is aluminum is perfect, IMO, 3/8" would be overkill.

UCF is on the ball again. They are coming out with a low pro tranny mount that should be very affordable. Keep a look out.

If UCF makes a low profile tranny mount, does that mean their skid will be even more low profile? And gain more ground clearance?

The UCF looks nice but the Rokmen appears to give more clearance which was the original reason for the mod in the first place.
Now if Rokmen would finish their oil pan skid or Savvy would get their skid on the market then I could make my decision.

No, it means the regular skid (as opposed to the newer no BL skid) will no longer need a BL, while still providing a good amount of clearance. This is unless they make a lower pro skid.
