If I went any larger than 33's with the 6 speed I would have to regear or say screw it and drop in a cummins. Mini-van motor hates 5th and despises 6th lol

This is the 2.5” Teraflex bb w/coils on 35”s. This is a do-it-yourself install (4 hours approx.) and wheels just fine. I upgraded to the full EVO Jeep because of how I use her. You will love the stance and no-hassle quality if the Teraflex 2.5”.

I did the same lift with 35 inch mtzs and I still get about the same mileage on the highway. Doesn't seem to lag either. Not sure what gears though its a 12 sport

Well it seems the 2012 JK is much better suited to the big tires with the new engine...been scared off by the "ticking engine" issue a bit.

Well after much review I've ordered a TF BB with shocks so with this the JKU will be just about done. Later on when I wear out the 33's I'll get 35's when I've got more $$$. I also got the Grade8 Northridge hardware kit to fix the trackbar and other bolts.

Will post pics.

And, then Dave at NR4x4 talked me out of it into a coil lift with shock extensions. Will post pics!

Note the orange jeep in this thread, am very excited.
