Well I think I am going to begin by saying I am in no way trying to prove anything. I am 18 years old and have done some rebuild jobs on a CJ7 with my old man a couple years back. I am currently going to school and on my way to get my mechanics certification so I have a lot to learn about cars but i feel like I'm no ( * ) that just posts remarks to get negative feedback. I simply post to receive answers that could be deemed useful in producing a successfully completed SFA swap.
The liberty runs fine with the power its got without re-gearing right now. But if my jeeps livelihood is of your concern I will be doing it this spring with the long list of other routine services.
As for welding, I know the most basic of basic. I wouldn't trust myself to go hacking away at the uni body though, so I'd like to either learn more, or have my dad help out with that one. With that being said, I was curious where id have to add support or even weld the mounts for the axle.
Thanks,

There are a few good builds on here to read through that they were done right, not hack jobs
So start by reading ones that were done by ; bshooter, tjkj2002, USAFCOP, JJsTJ, all good builds
Lot of ones are started but never finished due to getting in over their heads before they knew it
No hacking on the unibody UNLESS you are going full roll cage , no sense in making it weaker
As far as your gearing, its making the engine and transmission work harder now, lugs the engine down , transmission runs hotter etc
Don't see how you are running 33s and the small amount of lift you have, you need to run at least 4.5-5 inches then be close with out hacking away at the unibody
