Hmmm, you know, I suppose it is possible... but I doubt it. Either way, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough as more and more people get their JK's and start modding them up.

Only thing that i would have done differently, is throw a nice set of bead-lock rims on there, probably polished with a red bead-lock

As far as the whole tire thing, here in ontario canada cops are way more worries about pulling over the so called "street racers" than guys with lifted big bunned jeeps
How nice. I've actually gotten pulled over in my CJ for not having any mud flaps if you can believe it

I know its the wrong thread to ask but since we're on the subject if im buying 35x12.5 tires should i go with a thinner rim than 10"? can i? and would would be the advantages/disadvantages of that?

I think with the wider rim you leave yourself more suseptable to rock damage to the rim. Also, if your air down your tires you have more chance of the bead coming off the rim.

Question What about Teraflex???

Does anyone have any pricing? Maybe I am out of it but I had not really heard much about Full Traction until this sight. Are they really good? Is Teraflex, because I had not heard much of them either? 3" lift for $700 with shocks is kind of high for a shorty kit, isn't it? Granted you can fit more with less but it is still the same components just for the new model.
