I have recently ordered some 35/12.50/R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers that should be getting here and installed on Tuesday. I've been doing some reading and my question for you guys is what would be better to buy first and upgrade after the tires, the front track bar or the ball joints? Both are stock components as of now on a 2010 JKU Sport with a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift. I was looking at Synergy for both but if you have any other suggestions that would be great to.

And just to let everyone know I am going to be re-gearing to 5.13's in the coming month or so I'm still debating on lockers at this point.

 

Do you have your gussets done? If not, I'd hold off on the bj's until you do them.

 

Did you order some spidertraxx spacers? Or are you running aftermarket wheels with correct offset? I also concur on strengthening your front axle...

 

Would you do just gussets for now or go all out and go truss, gussets, and axle sleeves? It won't see any major wheeling right away just because I would like to have the sleeves and truss done to prevent tearing up the front axle but ultimately having it all done is on the list.

And I will be using aftermarket wheels with the right back spacing.

 

Do gussets and bj's at the same time. The heat from welding on the gussets will ruin the current bj's. And if you're going to do the bj's, you might as well do the sleeves since you'll have half the job done.

As for the truss, I have heard they can bend the axle but I have not seen proof. I would do some research before doing a truss.

At a minimum, you should look at doing the gussets (with new bj's) as they are very easy to bend even with stock tires.

 

It only makes sense to do the sleeves at the same time as the ball joints and gussets so I'll probably do that and research on the truss. It shouldn't take long to save for the parts so I think I should be good for a few weeks with easy driving and no wheeling. Thanks a ton for your help!
