Default What Next?

Hey guys,

I just bought a 2007 Black JK and recently put slightly larger tires on. Here are the pics:

I am open to suggestions on what I should do as the next step. I have a leveling kit already installed and the new tires are 285/75/16. I would love to see some pics of your JK as well to help me plan my next stage! Thanks!

There are dozens of show off threads on here, spend some time on the site, gather ideas, save money and enjoy your rig.

I think you should add a leveling kit to ease the factory "rake" (front end sits noticeably lower than rear end). The tires you have chosen will be good. If you plan to do any off road work, consider adding recovery points (tow hooks in the front, if you don't already have them) and a hitch with a receiver and shackle in the rear.

Looks good, and welcome! Stick around, help yourself to the fridge…

Recovery gear, air compressor, replace the sidesteps with rock rail sliders, and take it off road. If its a street rig- keep the sidesteps.
