I've got a 2010 Sahara with the D30 & 3.21s and I'd like to go to 35s on 4.88s. I'm not a rock crawler, I just want a fully capable Jeep for my DD, various adventures, & a trip to Uwarrhie or something every now & then.
So I have to build my rig in 2 phases. 1) rebuilt D44 front, driveshafts, regear to 4.88s. 2) 3.5" Lift & 35s. I'm figuring $3-4K a phase. They might be 8 months apart based on my budget.
Should I lift first, run on 3.21s, & potentially suffer or run 32s on 4.88s until I'm ready. The second option is just no fun & if something comes up it could be a year before I can afford the second phase.
Also I know a lot of members will say get a prorock, but being honest it's overkill for my use. I can spread that money over a few things on the drivetrain that I think will suit my needs just fine.
Whattya think?
