That's exactly the point... if you don't drop the cradle, you're stuck with 32'' b/c there is no room for 33''s unless you lift over 4'' and again, you have to shave the CV shafts...
How much money is involved in the complete process? might be a SFA a wiser choice?
Cheers

But then you introduce a host of other issues.You must drop the t-case/trans mount the same amount,then you have to deal with extending stuff(hoses and/or wiring).To much cradle drop then you will run into the steering shaft issue,IE being to short,and your R&P gear will be hard pressed turning 33"+ tires so expect changing it often when the seals blow and inner tie rod ends bend(non-replaceable on '06+ KJ's).If you have HD cooling might as well kiss the mechanical fan goodbye.And the final issue is no you will run into front driveshaft angle problems as the OEM front driveshaft is not ment for for any more angle then it already is at and it will be to short.
ThunderbirdJunkie wheels and beats his KJ and drives it daily, why can't everybody else?
Mine has the snot beaten out of it also and is my DD,has been since Feb 28th 2002.Lifted 3.75" in april of '04 with 32" tires(ended up at 5500lbs before the SFA) and stayed that way till I SFA'd it.Still my DD even after the SFA swap,waiting on the snow to melt some more to wheel it again.Never had a issue with the D30A(had DTT in it),blew apart a outer CV joint though but the diff was unharmed and lives still in JL's CRD.That diff was not the OEM diff that came in my KJ,it was bought brand new in april of '04,had the 4.10's already installed and I added the DTT and installed in my KJ.TBJ, my KJ is lifted, man tired and gets beat on regularly. I'd just like something I can wheel through the muskeg fields and not cry when it sinks in 6 feet of swampy crap. Alot of the guys around here run full size Blazers, early Broncos and Toyota's with big V8s and 44+ inch mudders. I can't keep up in my KJ. I have to go around some of the really fun parts of the trails. Being the kid with the too nice to potentialy wreck Jeep *****. I'd rather have a rig I can trash and laugh about than my still way too expensive, albeit paid for, KJ that I have to drive day to day.
I saw the stick-out-tongue bit. I know you're being a wee bit sarcastic, but dude, a 4x4 XJ for $1500 is too good to not beat like a redheaded step child.
