if ur set on 33s, i'd save on the lift and look for used STOCK 4-door rubicon springs - bang your done with your lift. this should get your about 1"- 1.5" of lift, maybe even 2" of lift. no other components needed. (fyi, you can fit 33s without a lift) best of all, this should be super cheap too.

Good idea, but be sure to check the part numbers on those spring. Jeep is not very consistant on the springs and some 2 door guys had the same springs as the 4 door. My X had the same springs that are on Rubi's. I've seen 3 separate springs pt/numbers on 4 door Rubis alone.

I'd agree with going with 35's, although I don't have experience with that combo with 3.73's. I do know 35's suck with 3.21's though. You'll need to get a Pro-Cal to adjust your speedo and shift points with 35's. A dealer could probably reflash the computer if you're only going with 33's....it'll be close enough (they can recal up to 32's).

Another thought on the cheap is putting in 2" pucks. I have 2" pucks + 35's on mine and can do most of the stuff I come across.

BTW, if your looking for ATs, i've got a set of 5 bridgeston dueler ATs for $350.00. 4 with 20k + 1 that has never hit pavement. they are rated for 50k miles.

these are in great shape. i had dedicated offroad tires (the 34" LTBs johnny was referring to).

that will leave you extra $$ for skids and rock rails.
