The lift was there when I bought the LJ July 2017, but I believe it is around a 3", I added the wide flares to clear rubbing when flexed while turning, and I added Nth's rear spring relocators, which raised the backend a bit, made a nicer stance actually. Yes I have the Nth belly pan and oil pan skid and rear stinger torque bar with diff slider. Always liked their products (except their sway bar links). If you can get any of their products I think they will serve you well. Know-Where - 2 - Jeep used to handle the 'long defunct' Nth product line but I heard rumors of KW2J not being around any longer. I know I tried for a long time to get the Slider for the front Dana 44 but no luck, they have stopped communicating. Glad I had the bellyup and oil pan and rear Slider tho, each had new scraps on them after the Rubicon run. In fact I checked underneath the other day and the rear Slider saved a huge impact on the u-joint connection in the rear driveline at the diff connection! As far as the long arm concept, I have never been a fan, but then again I've never ridden in a Jeep with a long arm. I see too many videos where the long arm is dragging over the rock ledges. I do think the Nth design addresses the clearance issue tho with a bent design.. I am sure there are many on the board (or other boards) that have more knowledgeable input on the matter. Only resource I know of now is American Expedition Vehicle's used parts forum. Good luck!

After my wife took my jku away from me, I found a nice 2004 one owner LJ. Now she wants to give it back so she can get a new Outback. She doesn’t trust the Jeep. Had to replace the left head. It’s a 2012. They all have bad head on drivers side. Good they gave everyone a 10 year, 150000 miles warranty. I’ll keep the LJ.

If you are sad, why sell.
She is probably cheaper to keep than anything else you will replace her with!

Wasn’t sure if I should start a new build thread or post my ideas here? I’ve been trying to decide on what to do with my LJ.
It’s a 2005 unlimited sport. It is very basic, the only options, are a/c, automatic transmission, and a hardtop. The only upgrades I have are hella lights and an OME set up from DPG off-road.
Leaning towards a modest build 32/33 tires, gears, little armor, maybe some drive line upgrades.
Should I post my plans here? Since I want the input of LJ owners or start a build thread of my own?

A full built tread could be a little much here, but asking question with a few pics should be fine. But you could also share your new link here.
As for your built, there is no modest built, cause a built should always anwer our needs, and unsless you are planing a rock crawler, an expo rig built can stay modest, since what you need is reliability and fuel efficiancy. Something that is hard to get with an overbuilt vehicule.
My tought anyway.
