Default Budget build

Saving my money to 6000 for my big step into the jeep. I drive an 08 JKUX and was looking for some advice on a qualify lift kit and 37" tires for my budget. I want a good suspension lift with smooth ride and good quality 37" tires. Please do not criticize or hijack my topic. Thanks

If you plan on running 37s on your stock d30, your c's are going to bend.

What I had in mind was maybe the AEV RS 4.5 suspension kit and 37" toyo open country's on 17" rims. And in respond to the gusset question, I will be purchasing an axle reinforcement package from north ridge

I have the AEV dual sport 3.5 with XD addicts and 35" trail grapplers, love the ride but hate the drop brackets for the arms, they get scraped up on rocks when on the trails.

Seems like you're set good decision on lift and tires. There goes your entire budget though. I would recommend getting sliders and skids before u hit the trail, because if you're like any of us you're going to feel invincible in your rig and want to test the limits of your rig.

Thank you for your advice. I apologize I wasn't clear about this earlier. That budget is just for the lift and tires and I will have other money set aside for armor and exterior add ons
