This is my trusty ol' ZJ I've been building it for about 6 years I've been driving it since new in 98. It started with a 3.5" teraflex lift and 31" BFG AT's.
Once the teraflex stuff started breaking, I built a custom triangulated long arm kit with Rubicon express 4.5" springs.
I then went with 35" Xterrains. After trimming the fenders. Thats when the weakness of the Dana 30 really let me down. Over the year I had the 35"s I broke every part thats brakeable in that POS.
So I put together a Ford Dana 60 with 5.13's spool (until Yukon comes out with the Zip locker for the 60), Yukon Chromoly axles, and, warn hubs. The 14 bolt has 5.13's, an ARB, disk brakes. I started with Toyo 37" MTs. At the same time I also cut the rocker panels out for rock sliders and built my front bumper.
when I wore those tires out in a year because at the time it was my only truck I went with 39.5" rockers and haven't looked at another tire since. Shortly after I put the rockers on I flopped my truck in my friends front yard (only time its ever been over). So I cut the back off, built a roll cage, and plated the sides with 1/8" plate.
