I had the Tera BB for the first 5 mo, but once I installed the Shrocks & Duo I was left with about 3/4" of travel between the bumpstops so it was time to upgrade

Looks really good! I wonder why some Sahara wheels are shiny like yours? I have seen those on the 09's. But the set I have, well before they were black, were like flat paint.

how much did you pay for your tires?? Where did you get them?

What made you stick with the stock Sahara wheels and not change it up? I am back and forth right now after seeing how nice, but better you Jeep looks then stock

The suspension switch was a necessity in my case as stated above. I tend to think they are about even other than the OME offering more clearance and a bit of a heighth increase. I got the HD springs and it's still pretty forgiving. People often comment about how smooth a ride it is. The Shrocky's are the matte textured finish. The UPS B@$t@rd$ still managed to bust up the powdercoat even after they were sealed in foam in the box

You know I went back and forth between these and a set of Rockstars and eventually settled on these as no one had any Rockstars in stock to put up to the rig, plus I bought the Tera BB, Toyo's and Spidertrax spacers a month before it arrived as I had told myself it wasn't going to be a money pit and I would be satisfied with this and some tint. As you can see with any vehicle it's an evolutionary process especially when you come from a German car background and don't have a clue about 4x4's. Had I known some things ahead of time I wouldn't have wasted the money on the BB and I probably would have gotten 35's which would have cost me more in gearing and everything else. So as it sits for the time being I've dumped enough money into and I tell myself I'm satisfied until it drives me nuts and I switch something else out.

I got the Toyo's from a dealership out west called Les Schwab. They went for about $385 you can get them on the web a bit cheaper at http://www°tiredeals4less°com. They are TOYO Open Country MT 33X12.50R18LT 118Q E10 — Item #360340. They're not cheap, but they're 12 ply heavy mothers and they handle pretty decent in everything in just about anything except for maybe sand and deep mud
