Currently preparing to order a 2014 jku sport, and have a stealership that can install some of the parts that I buy (lift kit, driveshaft, tires, gussets)
since I'm going to run 37's, the only knowledge I lack is what else the jeep needs to handle them at least decently. They are toyo m/t's and 13.5" wide, so I'll have 1.5" spacers on my 17x9 wheels that have 4.5 backspace. Could any of you Pros out here provide any insight on any other stuff I need to buy? I've heard something of steering stabizer relocation stuff (OME makes one with a stabilizer), trackbar stuff, and c-gussets. This will be my hunting/long trailing vehicle so I'm pretty sure c-gussets will be enough for the stuff I typically go over.
Current build list is:
-3.5 RK mid arm X factor lift with bilstein 5100's shocks
-Mickey Thompson Classic locks 17x9 with 4.5" backspace
-toyo mt 37x13.5r17 (no chance of changing my mind on 37's)
-body armor high clearance rear bumper with tire carrier (handles up to 40's)
-smittybilt SRC stinger front bumper with winch (will use winch to pull stuff up to tree stand)
-Tom woods 1310 front driveshaft
-xenon flat fenders
-Old Man Emu steering stabilizer with relocation bracket
-regear to 4.88 (later on after the rest. 3.73 will be a Dog but I'll tolerate it for 3-4 months)
-synergy c-gussets (or the evo gussets)
-trimmed pinch seems
-WAYALIFE sticker
Anything that is required that I'm missing? If this is the wrong location for this I apologize, new to wayalife and can't wait to start this way of life.
