Lift control arms

This is why youā€™re on what, #3 you said?
I had to look it up to see if I was safe with this one (10 years). šŸ„³

"Virginia does not recognize common-law marriages. Unlike some other states, in Virginia, a couple cannot acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time."

He's doing better than one of my crazy ass aunts. She's on marriage #10 or 11 now. I know of at least twice she has woken up to a note that pretty much said "fuck off, I'm gone" :ROFLMAO: If she's not single now, she will be soon if anybody is looking. ;)

Had to help my brother through this, even in Texas, misconception, common law isn't just living, you have to "Openly Represent" that you are married and live together and do a few other things I can't recall. Only know because my brother's divorce was a nightmare and I had to manage a ton of it in 03 and 04 while he was in Iraq.

Try a divorce....where you weren't even one of the parties, it's really crazy, ha.

He will have to wait for those, until he gets a second job, and his wife divorces him. I hope he doesn't have kids. The child support will cut into his funds to build a capable Jeep to get to the fishing hole. ;)

Gotta finish the build before getting married (donā€™t want marriage income counting against the rig).
 
Thanks that was some good info. I plan on going with the Clayton 4ā€ which has 8 arms. Iā€™ll do a SYE. Gears and other modifications if needed and keep it to 33ā€™s.

If youā€™re going to go with a 4 inch lift and SYE, you might as well add a 1ā€ body lift and target 35s when you regear. Some 3 inch lifts will net you enough to run 33s. With a 4 inch and all thatā€™s involved I would shoot for 35.

So your first post you said you didnā€™t want to spend when you donā€™t have to.

Folks tried to show how you can split the difference, not spend a ton but get your goals.

If this later post is your position, ā€œIā€™d like 4ā€ suspension and be ready for 35ā€™sā€. Then ok, you absolutely wonā€™t be saving a few coinsā€¦..if you do it right as you suggested.

Youā€™ll need all 8 Arms at 4ā€ lift, if doing it right.

Youā€™ll need a SYE or SSSYE,

Youā€™ll need Axle upgrades and gearing upgrade

Youā€™ll need a new driveshaft rear, possibly front but doubt it.

Youā€™ll need extended brake lines and most likely brake upgrades

Youā€™ll need track bar upgrades to adjustable
Thanks for all the posts. After looking into things, I canā€™t go into this on the cheap. I know better than trying to half ass it.

But if you half-ass it, it will be so much more fun for the rest of usā€¦

Stick around Slippy. You will continue to get great advice here. Just continue to ask as you start your journey.

I think youā€™re on the edge of an expensive slippery slope. ;) You need to spend some time on this site looking at what it takes to go from stock to reliably running 35s before thinking about that. If you just want the look of a lifted Jeep, I'd recommend keeping it simple and smaller, with 2-3" springs and a 1" body lift on 33s. You'll still need to be geared an acceptable ratio. Going to 35s will take quite a bit more.

šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘word to the wise!

My grandfather, rest his soul married 9 times! He was a chief of police. My father was his first child. Don't ask me how many aunts and uncles I have! šŸ˜

I'm happily married but if she's rich I'm not opposed to having a concubine! šŸ¤£
