Build Ideas-5 inch lift-37's-electric assist-solar panels-Flexi's-bead lockers-4.6
 

Wasn't sure how to post this so I will just do it anyway...

I need to get to 5 inches in lift. I'm at 2 now with the Armyrover method of spring reversal/donor truck build.

My thoughts are 1 more inch with the spring chalks and a 2-inch body lift. Or possible Terra-firma 3 inch lift with 2" body. I know many don't like the body lift but I just don't get why it's such a big deal. I really like the idea of having room for future pathways between the frame and the body.

I am going to be doing the Flexi fender upgrade, this I really have no thoughts about other than to get it done:

I am really thinking about bead lockers but to be perfectly honest it's only because I think they are badass. I doubt I would ever need them:

I am definitely going with a 4.6 from Turner Engineering but I need IHScouts to remind which one it is I need. [I have your original responses somewhere back in private messages but it would be easier if you could just respond back. :)

I like the idea of this company electric incorporated with gas. Not sure it is feasible but am looking at it:

The reason I want to be able to get to 37-inch tires is because of the surplus military market for those tires and the fact that the smallest start at 37"

Pull out solar panels. I like it!

There are fender upgrades I am going to do but not till I get the thing lifted.

This sounds like a bad reason to go with 37" tires. It will cost you thousands upon thousands to fit and run 37's. Driveshafts, axles, lockers, front and rear radius arms, and so on. It can be done, but most guys that have end up using Toyota(or custom axles, not just axle shafts, but the whole axle assembly) or dropping down to 35's.

Thanks for the reply....So 35" are about as big as I can get away with without all the above mentioned...yes? I have plans for many of the upgrades mentioned but not the different axles.

No, you'll still need pretty much all of those upgrades, LOL. Turning a 37 even with HD stock style axles is a lot to ask. The rover axle assembly/differential just isn't made for that. There's a couple guys doing it, but its a lot of work.
What size tires are you on now? I ran 35's on my D1 with no body lift and minimal trimming.

I'm running 265/75/16 or 31.6. The trimming must have made a huge difference because my 31's still rub a little bit with the 2-inch lift when I turn tight.

Probably rubbing on the radius arms
