    This sure looks like a nice setup. They recommend anything 2.5 inches or higher, should get some aftermarket UCA's to get the alignment back in factory specs.

    Its highly recommended. I have some TC UCA's and they were pricey but my alignment and tire wear has been perfect for years so I think its worth it. You can go without them but I wouldnt wait extremely long.

    3 inch OME lift kit, rear diff breather mod, cb install, sliders, brute force fab front end.
    Everyone I've talked to and from what I've seen on here has made me go with that kit unless I find something better locally. I get paid on the 15th so I'm shopping around until then. Any personnal recomendations on tires for "i need to go down this fire loop road to a fishing spot" use?

    I cut some wires here. Added some wires there.
    When I bought tires I had narrowed it down to General Grabber AT2 or wallyworlds Goodyear Wrangler Authortys. I went with the Goodyear because they ended up being cheaper and I think they look a little more aggressive and they came in a C load range. I'm not scared of Walmart, they still say Goodyear on the side. I spent 3 years with the stock tires on and never got stuck or popped one so I'm not worried, but to each his own. I definitely don't wheel like a lot of other guys on here. 90% of the time when I switch into 4wd there is fishing gear in the back. The other 10% it's snow.

    It all starts with your budget though. I was on a tight one. Decide how much you have to spend, research the highest quality tires in that price class, and then pick which one you think looks the best.
