a friend of mine just bought a 97 tj what type of lift would have good articulation, clear 33s ,in other words the best bang for the buck

RE 3.5 inch superflex kit!
plus SYE and cv driveshaft

I chose Full-Traction 3 years ago, I'd probably do it again.
Don't forget the sye/shaft, check TWoods on the combo.

what kind of wheeling is he planning to do? or is he just going for the look, and some minor Wheeling. some of the factors of what hes planning on doing with it would help to pick the right lift, at the best price. From a Full Traction 3" lift and a body lift , to a all out 4" long arm, both are capable of running 33's with good flex, but there is a big price difference.

all right il pass on the info , thanks for the help
