There have been two guys that pioneered this method before you:

Chris Perosi with his green 98 - Zues (RIP) UN:Cperosi





and
Peter Plotzeneder with his blue 98 - Ox. UN:PPlotz




Both had suspension ~4" lifts and body lifts CP (3"), PP(1").
Both had to MASSIVELY cut the front fenders to make them fit.

Peter has a front locker and breaks axles/CVs with some regularity. The lower gears have some attribute to that as well.

I dont know of Chris ever breaking a front axle/CV.

The rear axle stands up to the locked/low gears and 35s.

I run 33s as it was easier to fit, and the additional hassle/strain on the drivetrain didnt ever make sense to make the jump for an additional inch of tire clearance. YMMV.


The CP lift is simply the method of lifting the second gens. He was IIRC the first to obtain and lift one, and its the replacement of the shocks, adding springs in the rear and cranking the torsions...
