BLOODY 56K...
lol.
Well, there are several approaches. There is a body lift that involves spacing the engine x-member (which mounts the engine) down a bit, which moves the sway bar down, the drivetrain down,etc. Of course, that'll also need spacing methods for the rear axle and the front IDS, but by moving these things down, you allow more flexibility in lift height. It both allows the sway bar to be at a more natural angle and lowers the center of gravity. Yeah, lowering down these things negates one part of the lift portion, but if you can get 3 inch taller tires under there, then there is a good lift right there. Just remember skid plates!!
I love these pics... What tires you running? One tire off the ground.. Climbing a sand hill...
Where are you?

I'd like to recommend that you change out the trans oil...experience speaking..... :huh:
Otherwise...the easiest mod for the T4WD suspension-wise is longer travel shocks on the back....the MA700 are about right except you can't keep the air in them in rough country. This helps keep all 4 wheels on the ground...which I see you are having problems with....

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.
