    Just kidding. If I were you with a trail rig I would probably wheel it and break it and upgrade as I go that is assuming you have a trailer to tow her home with.

    you should spend a bit more money and get a jeep TJ, way better then a yj, leaf springs in a jeep suck! you have no flex and it rides like a lumber wagon. also you will be able to fit bigger tires under a tj then a yj. also with the axles, they are not to bad in a jeep, i ran 35 inch tires on a dana 35 and i also ran 37's on the rubicon dana 44's, but IMO get the tj

    No flex in a YJ with leaf springs??? Take note = Spring UNDER axle

    I'll also remind you....of the Spring OVER suspensions that can get even more flex (not mine)

    And you can go even crazier with a 1/4 elliptical setup. Not mine

    He meant, take a look underneath your Jeep (YJ). Yes, the springs are 'under' the axle on all stock YJ's.

    Yeah, that used to be my rig (top 2 pics)...sold it last summer. Got out of the hobby for a variety of reasons. Had one hell of a blast!! You'll have fun!!
