That's some really good information, so thank you! With the kit I bought it has only adjustable lower control arms, but I do plan on swapping out the uppers too (trying to be budget friendly). The steering is something I'll definitely consider not installing and sticking with a Y link setup. I feel like I'm learning a lot here so thank you and everyone else for the input

Love that you went with the Gobi rack! Top of the line. Hope you guys are able to make it to Oregon and wheel with us up here on the coast.
Welcome to the forum by the way!
I love the gobi rack so far, it's top notch quality. I'd love to head up there someday! And thank you I'm liking this forum a lot so far!
We look forward to seeing your Dad's next installment on your TJ build.
Just catching up on this. I'm multiplying times "whatever number inserted here" on:
sticking with 33's while you build over it time for the eventual 35's, Stay as clear away from the crossover steering as you can and buy the Currie CorrectLync and last, selling me your half doors when you're ready since they already match my Jeep and I only live 20 minutes away from you.....hahahahaha!

Yes I've decided on 33's for now and I'll be taking a close look at the Currie setup as well. And unless you have a pair of full metal doors in flame red you want to workout a deal on, I'll be keeping the half doors LOL!
X 100 on 33s and build for 35s over time. I’m doing the same thing and the 33s are definitely not my limiting factor. It’s that damn shovel of a tcase skid that I keep having to run over with my dads dually to straighten it back out. Since nature is trying to give me one anyways a proper tummy tuck and SYE are in the works for me 
Don't forget to look at the savvy belly skid for a tuck. With any luck maybe you could get savvy to sponsor the build.
I'll definitely check it out, I've been eyeing some of their bumpers as well! Looks like some quality stuff
Ya the fit and finish is amazing. The skid isn't made for my year anymore but I helped install one on a LJR and the quality is top notch. Buy once cry once right?
Check out @Midnight LJR build.
Can't do much better than Savvy.
I’m in the same boat, RIP to our early TJs. Went with UCF instead.
Same. Genright universal crossmember and ucf skid.
Wven more reason for the 2.5 inch suspension lift combined with a 1.25 inch body lift. Tucking the skid is prob one of the best mods you can make and it will pay you back in dividends out on the trail.X 100 on 33s and build for 35s over time.

I just wanted to post some pics of 33’s, good luck with the build. I am sort of building up in a similar manner
Looks awesome, love your build! Two questions for you: have you felt like you need to re gear for 33's and where did you find that front bumper?

Good choice on not installing the crossover.Sell that crossover steering and get currie
Offerup is a good place to sell.
