Thanks! Well to start, I am 17 and still in highschool. Work a steady job during school and 2 during the summer. I have been on other forums before for help with my first build, but I just came across this site and im liking it.

Last year when I bought my first vehicle (stock 2001 xj). I ended up lifting it 3 inches with 31's, not much mods.

I built it on a complete budget and realized I wanted something bigger. After a while of searching, I found this and picked her up for a pretty good price.

6.5" IRO Long-arms with 1.5" shacks and spaces = 8" of lift
35 MTR Kevlars
4.88 gears, locked rear, sye, driveshaft, a lot more.

Im just gonna start building off of this now. Just got a head start on a lot of mechanical things I was planning on doing, and I am very happy with it. Might take it down to 6.5" after a bit and eventually swap the axles for something stronger.
