I've been putting some serious consideration into a currie 1"BL/1"MM and a sky jacker high clearance skid plate...this would get me an acclaimed 2" skid clearance and 1" cosmetic lift, which I think is good considering how low the wrangler skid hangs (seems like they act like a mud scoop more so than armor). Also, I wouldn't have to worry about linkage for the transfer case or the radiator fan linkage because I'd be bringing the drivetrain right back up to stock location.
I kinda started to put thought into this when I realized everytime I get some money saved up I spend it on a new toy instead of a lift kit, and this upgrade will probably cost me under 500$. I know I won't be able to get a bigger tire on but angle clearance is really the only problem with stock TJs I think. And down the road when I'm actually ready to do a nice suspension lift I'll have an additional inch of clearance for tires too.
Anybody's thought on this, agree\disagree?
