Ok guys I am starting to modify my Zuk. I have purchased a Spartan Locker for the rear and a header is coming soon too. The other mods I will be doing this weekend are a SPOA lift with just stock purches (not tall ones). I currently have a 2" Calmini Shackle lift mounted now. Will I need anything else for my SPOA except longer UBolts?? I am very excited to get this thing going so I want to make sure I have all the materials needed. I would like to put some 31x9.50r15 Swampers on it.Thanks, I love the site.

You'll need a driveshaft spacer for the rear, a new driveshaft for the front with a longer slip yoke, bump stop extensions to keep from roaching your springs, tractcion bar of some kind for the rear to keep from roaching springs, some sort of steering correction (drop pitman arm / hi-steer kit), shocks (depending on how you mount/make bracketry), and longer brake lines. Also, I'd suggest getting some perches like the ones that Sky sells that have bracing/straps that go to the original perches... If you cut the stock purches off and reuse them on top, or even use cheepo trailer perches on top, you risk bending your housing.
To fit 31s, I'd suggest pulling the 2" lift and just do a SPOA by itself. It'll be the right size (not too tall) and you can get away with just a driveshaft spacer up front instead of a longer slip yoke driveshaft. All other stuff will still be needed.
Good luck and post up some pictures of your progress!
