I know, I know...do a search. I did.
And I came up with a bunch of things that will need to be done to my 2000 TJ when I lift her. The thing is, no one has a detailed list...everyone said something different, but what do I need, and what's optional?
Here's what I sorta know:
First, I get the lift, tires, wheels. Then, I drop her off at the shop. With the lift should be (?) new springs, (?) new shocks (???)...and what?
I'm only looking to bring her up 2.5" to fit 33x12.5 tires. Is this enough?
And backspacing...I want that bad-assed jeep look, but I still want it to look like a jeep. I only want to bring the tires out about 2" or so. What's the translation into backspacing?
Main point: What will need to be done with the lift? Tranfer case? Nuts & bolts? I am an "automotively challenged" chick, and want to plan out EXACTLY what will be done so I can bring all this stuff to my lift-guy.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Sidenote: This jeep is my daily drive. She may go off road here and there, but more for mudpuddles and playing around than flexing and rockcrawling. The 1961 Willys is the jeep for that. That's why we've got two.
