Default Lifting Combo

Have 2002 4dr and its time for tires, so was thinking about a body lift/ suspension lift combo for plenty of room. is there any specific combo that works better? some of my camping and hunting spots are pretty far so i'm leaning on side of practical reliability, dont want cv problems every 10,000 miles, i'm a super newb so some help would be appreciated.

what size tires are you wanting to fit?? if you dont want cv problems i would suggest a 2" body lift(or 3" but youll have to fab your own bumper brackets) with the 2"BL youll be able to clear 31" tires. if you still want more lift you can do a 1.5" tbar crank and add shackles.

i agree, but if you dont want to premature wear the front end i wouldnt touch your tbar. not that its bad cause i did it lol just replacing parts faster.

any time you crank your tbars it will result in increased wear, but a 1.5" crank seems to be a happy medium.

Just do a body lift and tires... if you want more lift after that, then do the t-bar crank.
