currently i have a rubicon 4 1/2" lift and a 1" body lift w/35's on my 98' tj. i want to go lower and i'm trying to nail down what combonation of parts to go with. so, if i stick with the 35's and go with high line fenders what size springs can i go down to? also what would i do if i decided to go with 37's? and should i remove the body lift or keep it? i have a sye with a double cardan custom length drive shaft is there going to be a problem with it being to long as i come down in height? i know these are alot of questions but i have looked at a lot of posts and am more confused now than before.

pull the body lift first because its free.

if you still arent happy then get shorter springs.

every jeep is going to be setup different so nobody is going to be able to tell you how to do it and exactly what it will take.

I'm running the white rhino hylines up front and clear 35s easy! The rear flares I removed and cut the sheet metal up to the bottom of the wheel well and pulled the inner fender out.

I've got a 2.5 sky jacker and a 1.25 body lift with the motor mount lift also.

But the suspension has been on there for at least 4 years that I know of, so no telling how much it actually gives me now though.
