I've had 2 Wranglers and I love them! The one I have right now is a '97 which I'm getting ready to put a 4" lift with 35x12.5 tires. One thing that I've learned from other friends with Jeeps that already had the lifts on when they bought the car is that you never know how much wear and tear it's been through already, and chances are it's been through a lot.

Anytime you modify a a jeep you are going to increase the likely hood of problems, things breaking, and with lifts, depending on how much of a lift, you're looking at getting it re-geared among other things which costs additional money. Personally, I'd buy a '97 (first year they upgraded the suspension, 1st year back to the round head lights among other visual changes) 6cyl, no current modifications and then do the modifying yourself. This makes the jeep more realiable, less likely to to have problems, etc. also which I think is very important, that way you know who did the installation and modifications on your vehicle, and you wont have to worry if it was poorly done by the previous owner.

Good luck to you!
