Duratrac is what I'm getting for sure. I was looking at 33's ( 275/70-18 ) with a teraflex leveling kit (2"). I like the MOAB wheels and the 18's. I need to be really good on the highway because that's my main driving. I'm only offload 10% of the time to be honest. I'd love 35's and 2.5 though if I could afford it. I won't put it all on myself. I like the warranty of a shop that puts it on with the proper tools and all.

Z-Fab Offroad in Rapid City. Todd has done all the work on mine and several others around here. He knows his stuff and his work is too notch.

Are you keeping your stock fender flares?!

Thanks that's great info! I'll check them out.

Keeping stock flares. I like the factory look but want more wheel well, travel, clearance and looks. That's why I wanted about a 2 inch lift with 33's. Plus I'm on the highway so much it logically doesn't make sense to go 35's then have to do a gear change also. Unless I came across the money to do so. Then it's game on, lol

I'm not in the market till fall when my factory tires are burned down a little farther. Then I'm lifting and putting bigger tires on at the same time. Price is a pretty big factor for me also. But we are all in that boat too ( plus the wife couldn't care less if I lift it). She has a 2012 Grand Cherokee Altitude edition.

No it's a stone white and black. Wondered who had the black on black in the area. I've seen it around. It's getting blacked out tail lights, trim and badges soon. And tinted fronts and glare strip this summer.

We just haven't gotten around to all the add ons for everything yet. I'm also working on an 86 Ford Bronco for my boy.
