that is one thing i really dont want to do with this one.  i think i would shed a tear.

I believe the phrase i used to talk my wife into this was "a functional lift"

dream ride would be a cj rebuilt on a modern suspension but until then ithink i will end up keeping this thing nice and building a TJ when i get back.

:yeah:
i think they are still going to rub even with the lift. but it does not look like you are going to use it on the trail either.

with the lift and shock choice it is supposed to comfortably clear 265 75 R16's. i went with the 245's for cost and to make sure i dont have any troubles.  There are a few offroad parks in germany that i will try to hit up but other than that i will be in the states in 8 months(unless they let me stay).  Most of the areas i hunt over here are pretty soupy and this will make it much more functional.
