If you plan on wheelin' at all, I'd also have to say new tires are a must......

Default Check the forum adds

People on the forum are constantly upgrading their rigs and selling perfectly good take offs for pennies on the dollar. Play your cards close to the vest you might end up with lift tires and wheels. Try to find someone local and avoid shipping.

Good luck, GRIZZ

Get the 33s and a TF 2.5" BB (with shock extensions). If you plan to wheel, add in some shocks, quick disco's and wheel spacers (or, any of the less expensive steel wheels with 4.5" backspacing). Even if you don't plan to wheel and just want to keep the stock wheels, the wheel spacers will vastly improve the stance of your Jeep with 33s.

With the winch I was thinking that would get me out of whatever the stock wheels got me in. But then again, if I had good wheels then I wouldnt get stuck. But if I did get stuck Id need a winch to get out.... Its just a loop of decisions
