I just purchased a 1981 BJ44 and have the following questions:
* Lift kit (2", 2.5", 3" or 4")
- Is the BJ44 springs the same as on the BJ42? Front and rear?
- What's best kit to install
- Shock replacements recommendations? Extend brakelines steel braided etc.
* Has original split rims
- Keep for daily driver or get new rims/tires
- If lift is installed, should the tires be upsized slightly to increase overall speed on highway
* 2b Diesel engine
- Is it possible for a turbo be installed on this engine? If so, is it advisable
- Has a buzzer that sounds when you hit 65 mph; should I disable or heed the warning
- Any transmission issues I should worry about?
* Misc
- Sound deadening foam for the tub recommendations?
- Front bumper wench recommendations
- Any other suggestions to make as reliable as possible?
- Roof rack and diesel can recommendations
- Cross country shipper recommendations?
Thanks for your insights,
RideGuy
