Hello,
I have a 2005 Wrangler SE with a 4.0 reman from Jasper... it has less than 500 miles on it haven't even done first oil change... I bought this vehicle at an auction so I don't know much of it's history. I had a shock blow and spray oil all over the back side of the Jeep so i'm exploring my options on how to move forward. I'm looking to use this car 90% on road commuting 20 miles a day and the other 10% as a weekend off road vehicle for overland and camping cross country.
The car has a lift i'm not sure how much or what is all done to it but i'm guessing it won't be the best. I'm exploring options of maybe going with the OME Super Ultimate lift with the Currie JJ Control arms as you all know this is a 2.5' lift with 1.25 body lift
If I go this option I might have enough to upgrade to a Dana 44 from ECGS with an ARB locker.
My 2nd option is go with the Currie 4' lift and use Rancho or Fox Shocks. This is a bit more expensive and I don't know that i'd be able to upgrade to a Dana 44 but I might still have enough in the budget to upgrade the Dana 35 to a Super Dana 35 with ARB locker from revolution gears.
My final option is upgrading the rear to a Dana 44 with ARB locker and upgrade the front to a HP Dana 30 with this option I'd keep the current setup I have and just get new Rancho shocks.
I'm not looking to rock climb or anything too off the beaten path but I would like to be able to tackle anything that will come my way and make sure I lower the chances of me being left stranded due to a component failing.
