I really want some of those 53" XZLs or XML or ZTL or PHTZLMTPEA>.>>>>>>........... whatever they are.
That's the main reason I want to get an old duece+.5 or 5-ton.... just so I can slap six of those babies on.  I can get a set of six for about $750 delivered.

Re: Lift kits
Can you share where they are available from? They were backordered everywhere last week.

Re: Lift kits
Whopper. The name speaks for itself Ken. Since, your going to be doing some really hardcore off roading I would reccomend wrapping the yolks of your U-Joints with plenty of hurricane tape. This way if you break one on the trail it will hold up long enough for you to finish your wheeling trip and drive home. That stuff has bailed me out tons of times.

Re: Lift kits
We are going with the solid axle. Next time in Moab we're planning to jump the second dip on Escalator and maybe try to fly off the top of Tip Over.
The 53's are the way to go, I think in the XTL-XTREMME Series. Can you get those, Paragon? They're new, but if you can help, please let us know.
Carey, we plan on wrapping the entire driveline with the Hurricane Tape. It will add much needed structural integrity for flying off those bumps. We also plan on wrapping the whole truck with so if I screw up, all the pieces should be easier to find.
OldHiker, the 63's are a tad to large for this hard core wheeling extravaganza we're building. We need maximum articulation. However, we will be cutting out about 6" of those long bars you were talking about. Thanks for the tip. We wouldn't have caught that.
The engine, btw, is going to be a 697 cid built by KFC. I heard these chicken engines run like grease.

Maybe consider a diesel and you can run on chicken grease.

Oh it's a diesel alright. Runs on bio-chicken grease.

Re: Lift kits
If you run the conversion factoring model on the chicken grease and turn it into chicken soup, not only will it cure all your mechanical problems, it will double the torque!
