Upgrade - not sure what to do...
Here is a pic of my Jeep right now...2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK Arctic Edition...
Automatic tranny - 3.21 gears...This is my daily driver...I don't do any trails so mall crawler it is...
I run 32" BFG'S M/T in winter - Procomp LT315 (35") in summer...
I am going to spend somewhat serious money , can you guys help me out here...
I am doing the AEV hood upgrade...Buschwacker flat flares...
This is where in need help...I 'm told even if i don't trail i should do gussets & sleeves...
Next thing i want to change gears with my driving habits and so on what gear selection should i choose...
Should i do lockers...
What brand name you suggest...
Planning also to do RIPP S/C...
If someone could take some time and direct me here would be appreciated...

If its a mallcrawler I see no reason for lockers, sleaves or gussets. Maybe gussets would help if you smacked a curb pretty hard with the 35's on there ??
I would just do the gears. Maybe talk with Ripp on what ratio to get ?? You may do the gears and find out you are satisfied with that and not need a Supercharger. I really like your Jeep.

Yeah if you don't do trails don't bother doing lockers. Nor do I see a need for gussets/sleeves. Gears is weird since you run two different tire size. I've always wanted 4.88s with my 35s though. Haven't gotten around to getting then yet.

With the 3.6 engine he could do 4.10 gears which would be fine for the 35s and not over kill for the other tire size.

Rig looks good as is. What I would do:
Gears and gussets. Skip the sleeves and lockers.
From aesthetics I think your painted flares fit the build better than bushwhackers. Before I bought the aev hood, I think I would run led headlamps and a full length led light bar, ditching the kc lights and headleamp "armor".
