Ok so I have been thinking. I got my jeep two months ago and I have been dying to do some things to it. I have to save up some money first, of course. But here is a list of things i would like to do first:

Nitto Trail Grapplers - 35R17
Metal Mulisha wheels - 17 inch, obviously
4 inch lift - open to suggestions
Gibson Preformance Metal Mulisha Exhaust.

Thats all I have right now. Any other ideas are welcome!

Agreed. Stay away from the metal mulisha stuff. Horrible marketing products.

Dont know the year of your jeep, but you might want to save for some driveshaft if you go with 4" lift. 2.5" to 3" lift with flat fenders works fine without DS issues and you can replace the shafts when they fail or when you get the funds. I have a 2013 JKR with TF 2.5" coils and TF 1" spaces and so far my front DS is good. I added flat fenders with the money is saved by not adding driveshafts and it looks great.

4" is a lot of life for 35's. I'd suggest looking at 2.5" - 3.5".
