Help me decide on the lift, wheels and tires. I want a 3" lift with 35" tires. The jeep will be mainly used as a DD with moderate offroad duty on the weekends. So, good ride quality is a must!

My thinking:

OME JK LT Suspension Lift from northridge4x4

17" Walker Evans Wheels (flat black with a silver ring or cast with a black ring) I'm pretty much sold on these wheels!

BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 Tire or Good Year Wrangler MT/R.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I attached a before image to help me with choosing the wheel style. (flat black or silver)

 

That setup sounds right for your needs.

 

I would say walker evans is a bit overkill for DD and moderate off road... but hey if you got the loot go for it

 

If I was spending $5K I would add Front lower controls arms to the lift and get the kit that includes adjustable track bars.

 

and you have a sahara... I would beef up the front axle or swap it

 

The LT kit comes with front and rear trackbars and you can substitute front lowers for $75 extra

When I first bought my 08 JK 2 dr I got the best 3 in Full Traction I could find at the time, 17 inch Pro Comp wheels, and 35x12.50 Pro Comp tires all for about 5 grand. I do some off roading, but mainly a lot of driving being. Army has be driving all over the place. My lift and tires haven't let me down yet.

 

i'm w/greenamphibious on the beadlocks being overkill. you prob won't need them if ur wheeling moderately. the money can be put in other places like gears (u have a sahara like me!) but the rest of your list sounds good. if ur using it as a DD you may also want to think about 33's to keep a little better MPG. good luck to you man! post pics when ur done!

 

The beadlocks are going to eat up a large chunk of your budget. Might want to rethink.

 

why not just ride it till it breaks?
