With 3" lift and 32" tires your car will look ugly. either change to 33" tires or 2.5" lift.
you got a perfect setup.
Khaiwi, I am having 32" tires and 4.56 R&P, No issues. Of course I get a higher noise from the Diff, High RPM and more fuel consumption but all of us knows, this is normal even with a stock Wrangler.

I still cant understand why should you have noise from the diff if you upgrade the R&P? I dont have any noise before or after the upgrade alhamdulillah.iguana wrote: Khaiwi, I am having 32" tires and 4.56 R&P, No issues.

4.56 and 32" will give very high torque and low milage per gallon, well its not that big difference but you can feel some difference between the 32 and 33" tires.
Keep in mind the extra weight of the bigger tires and the additional effort/cost of balancing them.

It may be worth having a chat with Chris at Icon Auto in Dubai (www.icon-auto.com) he carries most of the quadratec catalouge and even though you pay a little more, no shipping and customs and delays makes things cheaper I have found. Plus there is a lot of experience in mods at Icon, think they have done most of the jeeps in Dubai and can give you advice on your choices regardless.
HTH. Also Icon can fabricate a lot of parts, bumpers etc that look similar and work at least as well and are cheaper, carriers, bumpers etc etc. (plus you can get a coffee in the show room!!!)

2004 Wrangler, light bar, 2 inch lift 31 x 10 1/2 BFG, upside down nerfs, twin fuel tanks, FIPK with K&N hi flow, Borla exhaust, lots of bodge kit etc etc

khaiwi,
yeah i was thinking abt these things ... but everyone here adviced me to go with this setup ... i my self didnt want to go this extreme, but your the experts and i as i said when i first met you that i wanted to do this once and for all, which also was the advice i got from the guys here ... so if this is the optimum setting then thats it inshalla
Umm abt the weight .. you mean the axles and U joints and things that are related to them right ? if so then their time will come i guess and have to be changed .. if your talking abt engine upgrades i also will order some parts for the engine
Trakers,
Thanks for the advice man and congrats on the car
i know icon-auto but the parts there are waaaay to expensive and they dont have all the parts i need, abt them being experts yeah am sure abt it, thats way am goin to get my parts installed there ... unless i can find someother place closer to where i live ,, i'll talk abt this with you guys later when its time for it. Thanks again man
Thanks You all

well guys i've been doing some thinking the past few days, and i've came up with the following; it seems that the quadratec order is going to take a while, and i cant really wait that long, escpecially that its a busy time of the year for the shipping companies. i also thought that the new wrangler "JK" is coming soon to the region, and my wrangler is kinda old (97) so if i was going to do all the mods i was thinking of, i'd be better of doing them to a new jeep, so i thought that i'll do some mods to my current jeep and after a year or two get a JK and modify it. the main thing is that i dont think its a good idea to fully modify my jeep now and after a month or so the new one comes out.
am sorry if i disappointed you guys
so i`ll get the OMU 2.5" lift kit with 31" and i'll do some mods to the engine and thats it ... i'll get it done ASAP coz its starting to give me a headache lol
Thank you very much guys for your valuable info, you have all been a great help and i'll be sure to make the best of all the advice you gave me
