On the way there
By mods I really ment re-gearing, "to do it right". To regear the front is complex since I believe you have to swap in an 80 series differential carrier, to use the 80 series gearing options. I would not run 35s without a regear-there is plenty of power but too much extra heat in the tranny. Since there isn't much front flex, I can see why a standard lift would be enough physical space to run 35s, it just isn't much fun to have the gearing drop the tranny out of it's best functional range. For the original poster, Greg, 33s work OK with stock gears, to run 35s you need to spend a bunch of money to get the gearing correct. Not worth it until you've wheeled it a bit and figured out how it all works and what you want.
Derek-the rear bumper idea is great-swapping the accessories would be a major advantage and save you a few bucks too. I can't wait to see it take shape. Is the 80 seriss bumper done?
