Awesome to see a GenRight equipped build on here, and an LJ at that! We are currently doing a JK Elite suspension with a Whipple blown LS3 and a bunch of other goodies at our shop right now, love their products

What an awesome build. I’ll be following along and bug you soon. My LJ is going along a similar path for accommodating 40”s.

Not hard top static balance em just to get em in the ballpark. Totally worth doing. p.s. avoid the meme beads, they suck.

This LJ is going to be a very capable off road rig with all those stout upgrades. But I don't see this being a comfortable 3 hour ride on 40's that you're seeking. Plus, you're looking at oh maybe 5 miles to the gallon. I've seen amazing LJ's with 33" mud terrains that did great on and off road. And most of those had Dana 44's front and rear with trusses with no issues.

I have no problem on long drive with my lj on 40's. It depends on how you build it. And I get an average of 1o mags with the 6 speed.

Cool build. Some details on the suspension.. Coilovers/ORI/Springs and shocks? And some details on the frame stretch. The reasons why you made your choices costs would be most helpful. I am just starting a TJ build myself with a stock 32RH Automatic so you have a little head start. I am starting with a pair of Rubicon Dana 44 axles and adding trusses to run 37s. I am interested in your 4.7L stroker engine.

got them from Eastwood. item number 13902. it’s a 2” diameter wire brush on a 6” shaft that i extended with a piece of fuel hose and hose clamps attached to a longer rod.

I just ordered the 19.5 gal genright tank because they told me with a 14 bolt I wouldn’t be able to get the 6-7 stretch with the bigger tank. Did you find a problem getting the stretch with the larger fuel tank?
