    yea i ordered the SS brake lines from matt at indy 4x... they work fantastic, but the outer plastic red shell is coming off now after 1.5-2 years, but no leaks

    If you plan on doing any hard wheeling those links are also very nice. Ours are like toothpicks in comparison. I have bent mine and had to straighten them a time or two!

    I would probably be going w/ 33" for the 3" lift.. perhaps 35" w/a 2" body lift on top of the suspension lift. I hear a lot of this cranking on the torsion bar, however I understand that you loose travel by the amount you crank it up! I would be changing out the wheels also .. not sure but I think I heard it was a 6.6 offset? ..
    Anyways , I would prefer purpose rather than show!

    I can only add a small tidbit here. I lifted with the OME912 springs in the rear and 9-10 cranks of the torsion bars up front. This gave me roughly 2"s of lift over stock. This cost me $120 for the springs, not a penny more! I added some 265 75/R16 M/Ts for a total overall lift of 3"s. I do not feel any stiffness as a result of cranking the T-bars. I do not think I get less travel up front either. I wheeled with this setup in Moab last year with no issues, but I guess it all depends on if you are going to wheel like a madman (like Billy) or just have a little fun offroading (like most of us). The beefed up links would be nice to have for sure.
