So I'm starting with a '12 JKU sport, started out as my wife's jeep till she wanted a car instead(why did I talk her out of a rubi!) I'm happy it's a big upgrade from my TJ.

I started with a teraflex levelling kit with 1.5" boost, to get a little more clearance till I can get my lift. Once I sold my TJ I ordered up an EVO 1/4 pounder without the stinger for now so I could also get my LOD sliders. I picked up a set of JW led headlights to replace the crappy stock lights. I was running the stock tires hoping they would last till I could lift it, but last weekend I shredded on on a dirt road so I bumped up to some 35" toyos, I wanted to stay with the stock rims for now so I picked up a set of 1.5" spider trax spacers. My bumper came in along with my sliders so after my tires went on I mounted up the bumper along with my warn. Sliders still to mount, here's what Bruce looks like today.

My plan is to run EVO bolt on coil overs, haven't decided on the rest of the lift or my final tire size, but I'm liking the 35's.


If you don't push the limits how do you find them??
 
Thanks guys, sliders going on tomorrow, and maybe my trek top nx.

So far so good, if I really flex out the rear tires just touch the inner fenders, good thing I trimmed the pinch seem.

Yeah it changes the look completely, much better for the trails here

Went out and hit a little harder trail today up to haslam lake, I will be trimming the flares and removing the rear inner fenders, rubs to much on the trails.

so are you running the 35's right now on just a 1.5" lift? do you have spacers front and rear or just rear?

I am running a teraflex levelling kit with the 1.5" option so it's 2.5" in the front and 1.5" rear, you have the option to just put the one spacer in the front to level the jeep. I trimmed the rear fenders a little, but I rub the fronts pretty good if I'm disconnected but that's with no trimming.

I just found a set of 44's out of a rubicon with lockers and 4.56's for less then the shop here wanted to just do a gear swap, I'll know for sure tomorrow if I got them, if I did they'll be here in the next week or two.
