Ciao!

Now is time to start to make an upgrade...
I have ordered an ORTECHSUSPENSION kit 2.5" with extreme shock asbsorber and slickrock bumpers, 33 inch tire .

Please, help me with suggestions!!!

There will follow my update

Regads!
 
Very nice! Good luck with the mods! The 33" tires might be a bit small. After the lift you will probably want 35's.

You are right!
Unfortunatelly, in italy there are very restrictely law in terms of tyre installation.
Now I have asked the technical specs directly to jeep usa useful to make all the paper for the italian omologation.
Mabe later if all the omologation procedure will be fine I'll tet To make the same for 35" tyre...

Speakin about the lift kit chosen, wich is your opinion?

Thanks for the welcome!!! :)

Glad you got Coopers! The STT is about to be the best big off-road tire cause people are finally seeing that these things are freakin incredible!
 
Thanx a lot!
I know Coopers since I started to build my Defender. I love them...I used them on the field, in the desert and on the rocks!
 
Yesterday I did a night trail to taste the lift...I like it! I have no pictures but testing the max flexibility, I heard the front wheel touch the stock wings...I was surprised because I thought that with the spacers (1.2")and 33" I would have avoided that risk...

I'll check it...
