Before I start asking any crazy questions. Would roughly $6,000 be enough to start putting 37s on my JKU. Or Should I start with 35's and build my jeep so I can upgrade to 37s? It's a 14' JKU Sport.
Goal right now is basically DD, camping. Nothing crazy. I honestly probably don't need 37s, but I want them, and would like to do more difficult wheeling later on.
Original goal was either a 2.5'' lift or a 4'' lift with 37x12.5x17 bfg ko2s on basic mat black pro comp wheels. (I did pick these due to good reviews, but also the weight of the tire) Hoping it would help with wanting to make that leap.
I have no mods on my jeep currently. Top priorities are complete suspension to handle either set of tires, tires, wheels, gearing (depending on the advice I get) Rear bumper and tire carrier. Maybe a locker for the rear if I am going to regear.
My biggest problem is that I love the way 37s look. I live in Houston, and there are SOOOO many jeeps on a basic 35 set up, and I hate the way it looks. I do want a functional jeep. I just have a learning curve, and need to do some mods before I feel comfy enough to take on tougher terrain. So either a mall crawler 37s set up, or a super mean 35 set up...
I am asking with the budget because I have read a lot, and I have taken in a lot of information. I just still don't feel comfortable enough with the information as there is SO much of it. Sometimes doing research actually makes it worse. So many options, and combos and ways to do shit...
Anyways, this is my first venture into doing stuff for real on my jeep. Also, my first time with any of this. SO any information would be useful.
I really don't wanna have to do something twice. Also, I will have more money in the future. I just am curious what I can do with that initial installment.
