My JLU sport is bone stock, and first (and most importantly) I want to make the jump to 35's. This may necessitate a lift, but I'll live with a budget 1/2 inch spacer kit until I can afford a solid 2"-ish lift kit that retains the stock ride quality. I'm not gonna lie, this is a daily driver of a suburban/city college student in the west Phoenix area, who was lucky enough to get the best early-graduation gift on the planet. I know my way around local trails, but almost all of the mileage is going to be highway and street driving.
The issue lies, however, in the axles. I'm looking down the barrel of a $2,000 gun to throw lockers into my sport diffs, and the stress of wanting to re-gear for the bigger wheels is climbing. I've considered looking for entire rubicon axles to throw in, and kill two birds with one stone, but finding a set is a difficult process; and if I were to get the larger axles, with e-lockers and 4.10 gears, how would I integrate the lockers into the system, let alone access them from the useless slots I have in place of locker and window switches.
Any advice would be mountains of help. For now though, I'll be saving each minimum wage paycheck one at a time to fund this hole in my wallet.
