i thought so as well , i was going to flip the upper control arms but read on here that it may mess with the alingment , i would rather have better wear on the tires , seeing the truck is still being daily driven

Seeing that it's in spec, I wouldn't flip for now.

If you upgrade the front springs, then you might have a need for flipping.

I also agree, I don't see taller springs in my immediate future though, with 3.42 gears I am limited on how tall of a tire I can go to about 32'' before I have to start looking at a set of gears, so with the truck on 265's I don’t see the need to go any higher yet, until I save up for gears that is by then hopefully I won’t have to daily the truck anymore and can go crazy on the build!!

As far as the lift goes, it works great for what I use the truck for. it’s mainly street driven daily but on the weekend me and the wife find us in the TB over my z71 when we go out to the hunting club / trail riding. I have a lot of friends that own Cherokee’s and thought is was crazy for lifting the TB but after doing it and them riding/driving it. it sure beats the hell out of a jeep for everyday driving /weekend trails not to mention having a/c and not overheating every 30mins / injector leak down that my buddies have. But even I have to admit the straight axle is nice for the nasty stuff.
