I've had it for about a month. New front & rear bumpers, winch, side bars. Next a lift and tires. How's the Rubicon Express 3.5" lift with 33" tires?

Make sure you do your research and be prepared for what comes with a 3.5" kit. IIRC (from my TJ days elsewhere) that height of a lift needs a SYE. With the SYE you need adjustable CA's to compensate for the pinion angle.

Sure you could go SYE or add a TC spacer if you decide to SYE do the tummy tuck at the same time. It may cost a little more but it's worth doing.

Looks good! Brings back memories of my 99 Sahara...

An with a TJ I consider looking at Rokmen. Love their products.

I had a 4" lift on my TJ with a tc drop. Not a big deal if you don't want to spend the money on an sye and control arms right away. My drive shaft U joints made it from 80k miles to 100k before burning up with the lift. And even then it wont ruin your day because you can take it off and drive with the front wheels if necessary.

Also even the short arm 3.5" lift for a TJ used to get very very high praises. And 33s will fit nicely.
