Ok, here's the situation:
For my high school graduation, my parents decided to pay for the parts to fix up my Jeep as a present. Thing is, they think lifted vehicles with big tires are for rednecks and will only pay for parts that return my Jeep back to stock condition. :roll: So, I'm faced with a pretty tough decision. Here are my options:
1) Let parents pay for new stock suspension which would bring mine back to stock height, and then save for an ARB in the rear, one piece shafts, 31's(good idea??), a good ring & pinion with 4.11, and engine mods.
2) Buy my BDS suspension, a lunchbox for the rear, 33's, not so good ring & pinion, and no engine mods.
3) Let my parents buy the upgraded parts and act surprised when they come in.
I think it finally comes down to how well a stock CJ-7 will perform off-road. Also, the stock setup will make things easier as far as driveline angles go. Soooo, what do y'all think? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
