    I have an 02 TJ with 33s and a 2" lift with a 1.25" body lift and I think it could do this. Thered probably be some scraping on the sliders though because its on the lower side than yours lol. Will be going with 35s and a 3" lift with the body lift at some point. Has an antirock front sway bar too.

    I'll never understand why the very first upgrade wouldn't be lockers, front and rear. I was watching some guys that had snorkels on their rigs but no lockers. They were driving in 3'+ deep muddy water and constantly getting stuck.

    Good job I’m currently building a 97 tj myself. It had a body lift when I got it. I’ve added sliders, a winch, and just purchased a lift, adjustable front track bar, Novak shift cable, and sway bar disconnects. I’m pretty stoked about the build and can’t wait to get it on the trails

    How much it cost the front locker.? Amd what kind of lift you have? Mine is also a black LJ and I'm only on 2" lift , I'm afraid of getting the wrong lift kit.

    • @thomasolek8836
      @thomasolek8836 2 роки тому

      I did the front locker and front and rear gears at the same time. It was about $3800 out the door. Id go with a 3 inch lift and high line fenders with a belly up kit if I was building but this is a 4” rough country lift that was installed by previous owner so I just wheel it. I did upgrade to billstien 5100 shocks though.
