"Hey guys, I'm planning an overlanding trip from the States to Central America and want to upgrade my trusty Jeep for some serious off-road capability. Has anyone else tried doing a DIY lift and suspension conversion? Looking for tips and recommendations on which kits to use and how to tackle the install."

"Yooo, just wanted to chime in - I did a similar lift on my Jeep last year using the AEV kit and saved a few grand compared to a custom shop. Worked out great, handled like a dream on the trails. Anyone else have experience with after-market suspension upgrades?"

"Hey fellow overlanders, I'm intrigued by the DIY approach. I've been researching similar mods and was thinking of going with the 3-link front and 4-link rear setup, any pros/cons on that combo? Has anyone else tried modifying their Jeep to run 35s?"

"Yooo, @Overlander33, nice job on the DIY lift conversion! I was thinking of doing something similar with my old 4Runner, was wondering if you've ever considered upgrading to coilovers instead of just springs?"

"Whoa, that's some gnarly stuff you've got going on there. I've been eyeing a DIY lift kit for my own Jeep, so I'm definitely gonna check out that write-up you linked. Can you share some pics of the final setup?"
