Big purchase

Just got my new Mopar Offroad bumper from the dealer today and just bought my first lift and wheel spacers from Dave at Northridge. Pics and thread to follow after install!

Now the headlights are nice and bright and it is the same "white" as the 510s. I love em'

I just ordered a set based on your comments. $53.00 shipped from a seller on ebay. Not bad! Hopefully they are as nice as you say they are.

Nice! Are 15's much cheaper than 16s? This is the exact setup I'm thinking about. 2.5" TF spring kit, maybe a 1" body, and 15" or 16" rims with 35" tires to be used only for off road trips, and run stock Rubi tires/wheels daily.

Last question before I risk hijacking the thread: why 15" over 16"? Just for the added sidewall cushioning? Or maybe why NOT 15" is a better question.

With a 15", there's a chance you might have to do some grinding on the front calipers/brackets to get them to fit. You wouldn't have that concern with 16" wheels.

Grinding your brake calipers,
