Lift choice depends a lot on what your intentions are for the Jeep... rock crawling, beach, or just looks. Then what size tires you want... that'll determine the lift height. I'm a big fan of Rubicon Express lifts, but they tend to be a bit taller, designed for very heavy Jeeps. Black Diamond and Superlift were both good choices for CJ/YJ lifts back when I was at Quadratec.
Check out bds. They come complete and have a life time warrentee.

RE also has a lifetime warentee,
Drive shafts will have to be lengthened.
Did you install 1 piece axles on the AMC20 rear yet?
More than likely. You typically only have 3" of play between compression and extension.

I doubt that he'll need new driveshafts....my '82 had stock driveshafts with a 4" superlift and never had issues. Had close to 100K on that setup before I got rid of it.

Post 4009 is my cj7. Mostly stock height and 33`s
My 81 cj7 is a 4cylinder and not sure if that makes much of a difference or not?
A 4 banger with 36's?
I just think it will be doggish. One question we get on here from time to time is about swapping a 4.0L in to replace a 4 cylinder.
U will feel it power wise with either a 33 or 36 tire. 33 would be less stressfull on the drivetrain. To make the drivetrain happy you would have to have the gears changed. Looking at 500-750 in parts and 300-600 labor depending on who does it. Hth.

you didnt lift yours??
did it rub?
Correct. With the exception of a short shackle lift. The tube fenders in the front give more then enough room. The rear was cut out and tj flares installed.
