1. Lift Kit

When looking for the right lift kit for your Jeep you have to decide on Long Arm or Short Arm. Short arm kits are cheaper and have a rougher ride. They do allow for more control arm clearance and offer a way to lift your Jeep. Long arm kits have longer arms that put them in the way for clearance problems. But they offer a smother ride and they are more expensive. Here is a website to check out different lift kit options for your Jeep.

2. Wheels and Tires

When choosing a wheel and tire combo for your Jeep WJ you should consider your budget and what your using your Jeep for. If you are mostly driving on the road getting a set of all-terrain tires is probably your best option. Check out these all-terrain tires Here.

If you are wheeling your jeep and our looking for maximum traction in the mud and snow a set of mud terrain tires is your best option. Check out these mud tires by clicking Here.

Choosing the right tire size. When deciding on a tire size you should look into what size lift you have and if you trimmed the fenders.

3. Drivetrain

When you start to upgrade your Jeep WJ with a bigger lift and tires things will start to wear out. You might even consider upgrading the drivetrain by re-gearing the axels. Stock components start to wear out like axel bearings and other drivetrain parts like transfer cases. Check out this website for a catalog of parts to upgrade your drivetrain with.

4. Lighting

After upgrading the things above the next big thing to upgrade is the lighting on your Jeep WJ. The headlights and taillights can be upgraded with options on amazon.

Another big lighting upgrade is off-roading lights. Check out this website for lighting options like light bars, pod lights, and rock lights.

5. Fender Flares

One way you can transform the look of your Jeep WJ is adding a set of bushwacker cut out fender flares. These flares look great and allow for more tire clearance to run a bigger set of tires on your Jeep.
