this site is the best and i'm glad to see this forum is no different than the other ones !
keep in mind that he wants the look but will never actually do any off-roading. that said here is what I've learned from here and a few other sites. either TJ or YJ is fine. i'm good with leaf spring suspension but the coil spring would be newer and probably more plentiful with the added plus of finding one that is just someones daily driver. straight six is what I should look for but a 4 banger might be ok for his use. 33's could present a problem with steering radius and might require a gear change but a 2 inch lift (not body) would be plenty. 31's are probably all he needs to achieve the 'look'. am I on track?
