    What is your budget? there are a couple of ZJ's in the club now at different sizes. What do you want to do with it? Daily Driver? Family Car? Weekend Toy?

    I started out playing just stock as a rock, even though I'd had highly modified 4wd before it was still fun.

    A few answer & a bit more info we can help you better. look for what you want a the end picture to be & work back from there.

    Go the MIGHTY ZJ!!!!

    If I was to do my ZJ again I would go straight to the RE 4.5" Long arm Kit from Wooders

    I run 3.5 inch lift kit and .75 inch coil spacers and 32 x 11.5 tyres. I needed bushwhacker flares to to stop the scrubbing at the front. Since putting the flares on I now could run 33 x 12.5 comfortably but would recommend that the 4.5 inch rubicon kit is more thorough and suited to this tyre size... You can squeeze 35 inch tyre s with that kit but there is lots more work involved... Hope this helps
