but I was specifically referring to high-centering my vehicle


The stock transfer case hangs way low on the jeeps. Try researching the belly-up skid plates to give you more of a break over angle. Here is my jeep, If I had the stock skid plate I would have been hung up:

I was looking at the Teraflex lifts when I was going to get 33" tires, but lately I have been thinking about going 35", in which case I have to start my search over - maybe long arm.


If I had to start over, I would go for a long arm. I have a short arm 4ö with 8 adjustable arms. It flexes very well but the long arm is so much better for articulation.

I will agree that Rubicon Express makes some good products. When the times comes, I will be piecing my long arm setup from Clayton Manufacturing.

but with the 35's I am concerned about my gear ratio. I have 3.73 which I think will be fine but is as low as I would want to go.


I would stick with 33ö tires with that low gear.

I am going to buy a winch and bumper before or at the same time as I get lifted. Any recommendations on either or combo's?


Pick a bumper that will not hinder your approach angle. I have a small very basic 52ö bumper in the front and even with that I would sometimes scrape the front bumper on approach.

I added a winch plate to hold my T-Max winch. T-Max makes a good winch but everyone will always tell you to get a Warn.
