That's badass. I want to save up to get a 2.5" lift with springs though. Plus I have to call dealer to see what he says about mods and warranty?

Very cool, I like the lower, wider look for now, but would love a 2.5in. With 35's down the road.

I went with a 2.5" BB. Only cost $139, it worked great. I am still running it because my lift needs have changed and I am going to go for a minimum of 3.5" of lift.

The only rubbing I had was during articulation, which I still have, even with a lift. Flat fenders or a quality spring lift will fix that pretty quickly. I did have properly backspaced wheels though so everything cleared inside.

Once you go with anything over a 3" do you need exhaust spacer and s.y.e?

I think the exhaust spacer is only on newer models, I have an 08. I do not believe you need a SYE, but I could be wrong. I really haven't seen any mention of that while looking. I believe that is more of a YJ/TJ thing. I know guys that are running factory drive shafts with a 3.5" lift and have no problems, so that is my goal.
