I was thinking of eventually going with JBA's 4" lift, or doing a SFA-swap, probably leaf-sprung just for kicks and cost.
Until then, I was thinking of buying 1.5" spacers front and rear, JBA's custom CV axles, extended SS brakelines, and 4" struts and shocks (would I even need the struts?), still easily totalling over a $1k.
With those mods I'd want to run probably 32" tires max, which could maybe have a true OD closer to 33". The only problem I see with this whole set-up would be the front diff and possibly the steering rack angles. What could I do to prevent my diff from exploding other than getting a collar to put around shaft input? That whole deal just makes me want to go SFA unless it can truely be prevented. Sometimes tires just have to be spun if you have open diffs, right?..so I see that as a problem...unless a locker, like say an ARB, can help prevent the possibility of that happening? People only explode their D30a with open diffs and one front tire spinning, right? I'd get an ARB up front just to prevent the grenading. The awesome offroad capability would only come second to preventing the diff explosion, if it indeed can.
Eventually, after running the spacers for awhile and saving money, I'd buy the full 4" lifted coils from JBA, essentially buying his 4" lift in pieces, but this is all assuming the front diff problem can be solved/prevented. And what about the rack, specifically the out tie rods? I read awhile back that it could be a problem when going higher than 2.5" (my outer tie-rods already look kinda adverse from my 2.5" lift) Thoughts? I only brought this up because the front diff problem is ridiculous and if there is no solid solution, then I'm saving for a SFA-swap immediately. As I remember, people have used the collars, but I have not read anything about them doing their job handling the stresses of the tires that people are going to be using with 4" and higher lifts. This is not to say that the collars can't hold back the forces of bigger tires...I just don't know myself (I don't have a diff collar currently). I do know the current average LOST KJ has 245/75R16s, which is humbly called a 31. The tires I'd want to put on my 4" lifted KJ would probably be a Swamper of 60 pounds, and then I'd probably have steel rims. My current tires weight 45 lbs each, but they are also on lighter aluminum rims. Is this difference in tire weight and therefore force (on the diff input and on the steering rack components possibly) enough to keep us from running >32" tires when we start running >2.5" lifts?
Thoughts?

Well that's enough for me! I'm saving for a SFA-swap, but I'm not doing any $10K deal. Ask the first guy who did it himself, Jedi something...he definitely didn't spend no $10K and he still had coils front and rear. I plan on pulling the leafs and axle from a pull-and-save, definitely no more than $500 total. I'll probably get JBA's rear 6" lift components and a new driveshaft with a SYE and call the rear good; I'm guessing that'll be no more than $1.5K. I want to do it all myself with help from my welder friends for under $5K (not including lockers and new tires/rims). 33" tires is good enough for me, as long as I can get still get some good flex. Give me 2 years to save $ and compile components and on the 3rd year I bet I'm gonna have a SFA underneath the front of the Lib.
