My brother in law is In Afghanistan but he has a bone stock 2010JKU. He basically gave me his credit card and told me to build it to look good but also function as a daily driver. Here's what i wanna order.

Rock krawler 2.5" max travel kit with bilstein 5100 shocks

Pro comp 17x9 with 4.5 back spacing wheels

35x12.50R17 Goodyear wrangler MT with Kevlar

Smittybilt MOD bumper with end caps and warn winch.

What's your thoughts and opinions on that?

Enash,

That build list looks pretty solid in my opinion. Everything on there is made with quality parts and will last a long time. Rock Krawler makes one of the best lift kits on the market today. They use top quality materials and best of all, they are made right here in the U.S.A. The lift will give him an almost better than factory ride, along with great off road performance.

As for the tires and wheels, the Goodyear M/TR with Kevlar is one of the most popular tire being run. From all the reviews I have read, everyone really seems to like them. They run great on road, and will do awesome in the dirt.


Smittybilt bumpers, along with all of their products are a great value. All of their products are strong and have an awesome powder coating finish on them. For the price, you really can't beat anything they make.

We can get you most of these parts at an awesome price with our JK-Forum Discount and free standard shipping on orders over $75. Shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up with the code.

Thank you and your brother-in-law for your service to our country. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be glad to help.

That looks like a good build plan to start with. I would also recommend having some gussets installed.

If it isn't a Rubicon, which is the only stock Jeep (that I know of) with 4.11 gears, you may want to think about regearing to make it more functional as a daily driver on 35's. Just saying saying that even on 3.73, it will be a DOG! Looks great though.

looks like a good start to me. You may want to throw in an AEV procal so that his speedo reads right.

I would go with the toyo mt before I ever ran the mtr.
Mine would not balance, and only lasted about 10k

I agree here. I'm not a fan of the Goodyear mtr's.

I don't know what you did to only get 10000 miles, but I've put 10000 on mine and they look new. Mtrs in a 35 size are a good tire. Not saying there the best, but they are good. And look great. Not a bad choice, considering there good on and offroad and very light. Most jeeps I see are either running toyos, nittos, or mtrs. I like the mtrs, I haven't had a problem with them balancing.
