I also have new Skyjacker Nitro Shocks.

I really like the look for now. It rides and looks like a Jeep now. Even has a slight hum on the highway.

Great looking jeep man! Did you use wheel spacers at all? I've got a similar build plan in mind but don't want to use wheel spacers. just curious if the lift opened things up and corrected the rubbing issues with stockers, 33's, and no lift. thanks

Very nice. In the after photos it looks more silver than grey, and that is what I have so you gave me a nice example of what mine will look like with wheels and lift.

There is slight rub at full turn on the sway bar. I may or may not put wheel spacers on. I very seldom need to turn the wheel that hard, and I like the fact that my tires are still under the "wings" as my son calls them.

very nice. i want to keep the stock wheels as well, but don't really like the idea of wheel spacers. your rig looks good. enjoy

Im thinking of something similiar:

Getting a 2-2.5" Skyjacker lift and 33-34" tires.
on Stock rims.

Very nice... That tire is a 12.50 correct? If so, I am still thinking I might be able to get away with a 285/70 and no rubbing since they run a little narrower, but I could be fooling myself and should just buy wheels.

Looks AWESOME

I've got a similar build plan, just need to win some $$$. Given that I'm going to get the MT Baja MTZs 305/70/16 & 16x8 4.5-5" BS rims, I'm really debating between the following lifts:

1) 2" Skyjacker BB w/ Nitro shocks + 3/4" spacers in front
2) 2.5" TERAFLEX w/ Shocks + 3/4" spacers in front
3) RE 2" BB with MonoTube (supposedly levels it out for you based on what OJMiles says).

Obviously one of the drivers is dollars. Lots of folks going with TERAFLEX + spacers, Skyjacker is the cheapest . What do you think?? How's the ride??

Do you lose anything with the lower priced package??

The ride is about the same, since the use the factory springs, the only real difference I feel is more from the tires. But let me say, I like the way it rides now. The one thing I missed with my factory set up was the Jeep feel I had with my 97when I had it. Now there is a slight hum, nothing to bad, and the feel of the wheels as I drive.

Thanks for the compliments. I love my Jeep. Actually got to take it out on the beach last weeken, impromptu and had no camera, but go in some good wet sand and did some wheelin with the kiddos. They loved it.
