How big do You really wanna go is a good question = This is what I started with = Brand new 02 two door.

Within 2 months this is how what became = sitting on 31" boggers with a 1 3/8" body lift & a custom 4" suspension lift.

After 17 k miles this is what I did = 35's with air lockers and a complete 86 of all the stock suspension.

The reason I am putting this out there = is to the question of how far do You want to go, if your goal is to end up with a extreme off road machine, dont do like I did & spend alot of time & $$$.$$ building & building just to torch it all off and build it big. I thought I would be happy with the 1st customization, what I am saying is look at the final of what You want the rig to do, then plan your build.
The Rokia build has transformed into all but a Krawler due to lower T-Case gears are not available & we cannot get enough interest / for somebody to build lower gears for us. They wanna build 1'000 pieces so they can profit. Personally I know of about 6 of us that are willing to spend whatever it cost's in cash to achieve that. If we could find somebody to build even a 4:1 T-Case gear this would bring the older Sportages into allmost equil to the Samurias.
So back to the how big do You wanna build it, is the best question
