Thanks Burbor, Bigdav160 and kwmech! This forum never disappoints.
Some additional information, as requested:
"Big Yeller" is a 4x4. Tires are 33 x 12.5. I'm not sure if there's a lift kit...seems like it based solely on the height of the vehicle. (I have a '83 Jeep Scrambler with a 4" suspension lift and 33" tires that sits about the same height) A few pics, without removing the wheels:
I'd guess my budget for some upgrades would be around $2000. Does that help?
I'll see what Hawk, EBC, and Wilwood have to offer.
Thanks!
