Check out E2's profile pics on his signature, those pictures are worth a thousand words on his JBA 4" lift. :shock:

A thousand, well hope they are helpful. It was my journey that helped JBA workout the last of the major issues in his lift. I enjoy the lift and it works great without any issues. JBA's lift is the way to go Marlin the owner owns a KJ and devoted his time to make the top of line lift. Thanks Marlin of JBA.

JBA UCA's is a wise choice at this part of your build :juggle:

Tires can wait if you still got the 31 ATs,, regear and rebuild your diffs with lockers before the 32s from what I have been told. My :2cents:

: make your own sliders if you can't get RL sliders: if you get RRO sliders, then reinforce them so they don't bend upwards like the pics I saw of one of the L.O.S.T. members after heavy usage...Sliders before roof basket which holds your Hi-Lift Jack that utilizes the sliders as a lift point, if you put the spare tire up there too, then you will need a new roof rack rail system for the extra weight :dizzy:

, & for extra lights, a JK light bar mounted to the bumper is a lot easier to wire than the roof lights.

I have 32s and did not regear, not an issue here. Pleanty of power for both on the street and off. I even tow sometimes a trailer that is about 2000#, on large hills is maxes out at 55

So not an issue with 32s and stock gearing :ROTFL:

Maxes out at 55 on large hills :shock:

I wonder why
do your transmission and engine a favor and regear :wink:

Really its a v6 3.7 what do you expect? I forgot to stated when stock it maxed out at 65.

HUGE difference after regearing esp. when you have 32s on
It will feel like you're driving something with 100 more horse power
Plus it will save you money on gas alone over what you are getting now I am sure

Higway mileage will be way better with 4.10s and 32, I would even look at going lower
