    piecing together a tj lift, what to use?

    I am trying to gather some parts up for my TJ to fit 35's on over spring break. I am probably going to get some re 3.5" coils, i bought a 1" body-lift and a rear track bar relocator bracket so far. Right now i have a tcase drop in and a re 2"bb so I am going to leave the tcase drop and just use the d3000's that came with the BB for now. What else do i need with this? An adjustable front tracbar? I got some 4.56 gears to put in at the same time too, as long as i had it that far apart I was going to put a lockright or ausie locker in front but...dont really have enough money plus i hear they only take like an hour to put in anyways eh?

    hehe just talked to RE and they told me the same thing

    Has anyone installed a lockright or aussie locker? I kinda want one for the front (cant stress the little 35 in the back anymore!) The reason this locker sounds good to me is because I would want to take it out in the winter and I hear it is very easy to install and take out.

    Called RE

    Lockrites are simple, pull the axle shafts, drain the diff, pull the carrier, remove the ring gear, remove the spyders, install the lock right and remember the thrust washers, reinstall. if you have lower than 4.10's you don't have to pull the carrier or ring gear. Make sure you mark the bearing caps and the ring gear so you put it back in the same as you took it all out or you will need another gear setup.

    So why just putting a locker in the front? Have the D44 with limited slip in the rear? I would go rear first for sure, if at all possible!

    yea i got new carriers with the gears so thats ready to drop in

    the reason I am not going to do anything with the rear is because it isnt a 44 its a 35c and putting 35's on that it going to be more then enough stress I think, if i had a better axle i would lock the back
