This is way more coherent than your first post, as it was almost like a stream of consciousness, lol. Anyway, welcome to the forum...you are definitely in the right place.
 
By the way, all the cool kids with the best toys hang out over in the "What did you do to your LJ today" thread.
 
It was I’m working 3 different apple products selling things buying parts lol i just wanna do what i said and have a full resto done in like 3-5 yrs and do whole Currie lift just wanna drive Jeep moderately but mechanically sound and beefed up as much

Almost everyone here will help you out, but...

sentences punctuation good place verbs some add verbs adjectives other types help us you to

If that doesn't quite make sense try this:

Sentences with some punctuation, would be a good place to start. Adding verbs, even some adverbs and/or adjectives and other types of words could help us to help you too.

You can do so many things with these Jeeps it's almost unreal. First you need to decide what you want to do with it, then you need to decided based upon that what the BIGGEST tire size you plan to run is. Don't pick a tire size and say, "I may upgrade to ____ in the future". Pick the tire size you want from the get go, and build around that.

Also keep in mind that the bigger you go, the more money you will spend if you want to do it right.

These things can be built on the cheap using piss poor quality parts, or they can be built with top quality parts that will outlast the vehicle. My opinion is that you do it once, and you do it right, even if that means spending a lot more money upfront.

Lastly, you should also realize that even on 31s, these things are way more capable than most will give them credit for.

I would suggest checking out the TJ Resources and the TJ How-to Guides sections of the site, as well as checking out some of the more extreme (and very well sorted) builds such as @jjvw and @toximus.

There are others for sure, but those two guys are people who I personally would look to in terms of building it the "right way".

No problem. Just doing 8 things at once. I’ll take more time and not treat it like texting. Thanks for help.

From what I’ve read the Currie 4in lift kit on 33’s with tummy tuck and 4:56 gears was best setup. I would just like the best Modestly priced Jeep suspension with what i have on LJ currently. Currie setup is something I would like to do 2 or 3 years down the line when car needs body and frame paint.
