Modification / Lifting tips
Try to find a 4.0L TJ to start your project. A Rubicon would be the best, but they are also more expensive.
Dana 44 front and rear is great for a Jeep Wrangler TJ on 35 inch tires. You need about a 4-6 inch lift to fit the bigger tires. Get the gears lowered to 4:56 and consider air-lockers for serious offroading. A winch would be nice also :)
Dana 60 front and rear for anything bigger!
