Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I think they cost me like 160 cdn and installing is as simple as squatting the air out of them, stuffing them in the spring and running a few air lines. I mounted my valves in my trailer hitch. protected, out of the way, easy to get to. Remember to inflate with a hand pump not the compressors.

did you add any other parts to your lift or did you just swap springs/shocks and add coil spacers?

That is it. Just running Spider adapters. I have some TF shock extensions I might throw on. Very happy and everything slightly used and been running most of the 99,000 miles on it.

I'm on the fence with 34 or 35's and might change my shocks out for shocks for a 2" lift down the road.

IF you want to go 35. add the teraflex body lift. If you want to go 37s add the body lift and mopar fenders. Your awesome suspension stays the same, you have enough clearance and save a pile of money.

I am also thinking of running with cut flares or flats and then add some bump stops if I go with 35's. Definitely, a very inexpensive way to go.

Me too. They work great for everyday driven Rigs. I was close to jumping on the massive tire bandwagon but nope. I get good mileage now, for range, and rides and handles great. I am not worried about bending and breaking stuff either. Its the ideal overlanding style setup.

What tires size are you running?

Never mind, I just saw you posted 285s. Looks good.
