Very nice choice of components!

Since you are at least familiar with ORE products, have you considered going with the ORE coilovers and lever system or Double Throwdown systems? They are probably equivalent in price the RK + Seats. ORE is just up the road.


Also regarding the tires you may want to maintain a little safer margin for the axles by sticking with the 37s, since it appears you like to put your rig to the test.

lol the price is not even close. for the coil-overs is about over 7 grand. RK kit is around 2600 and seats are about 7 hunderd with brackets. i have thought about the coil over for a while, but i just dont see them lasting very long with all the swamps on GA which is where i am from and i hope to be going when i am done with the military. i do agree with you about the 37s.,

Stay safe and thanks to you. The only JK list input I have is.. on the Fabfour tire carrier... I was looking at that too and a guy at a local shop said the downside to their setup was the depth of it.. ie, it sticks out a tad. ( so you can stick stuff between the Jeep and the tire...) After we talked about it, I decided to keep looking.

Best to you and your project!

BE SAFE! Afghanistan or Iraq or other?

I've been Kosovo, Iraq 3 times, and Afghanistan... sure does make you appreciate what we take for granted.
