REBB for a few months, then a 4in lift, then a bl ,then zenon flares then.... Get the rock rails first or save your money for a good lift, tires and such. Soft doors? Just take yours off, save for some tube doors or make some outta fence material like that one guy on here. They haven't even got the design right from what most posters say who have them.IMHO

I went with the BB first. It gets your rocker panels up above the rocks that would normally cause damage at stock height plus it has added benefits like raising up other endagered items like the oil pan, EVAP cannister, muffler, etc. and increases your approch/breakover/departure angles. I could do most of the Blue and Blue/Black Trails at Rausch Creek with relatively little fear of damaging a rocker panel with my stock 32's and a 2" BB.

i agree with you. i want to eventually move up to 35s and i would need a bigger lift anyway so it would be a waste. And i also hate getting home at 2 in the morning and if its gonna rain hard that night ill throw the doors on and we all know they arent light (60 lbs i think).

Default Summer is coming - get the Doors

If you asked this in Sept I would have a different answer. You'll love putting your full doors away for the summer and keeping the soft doors in the back of your jeep for when it rains. With any luck you'll never use them but love having them. By the fall maybe you'll have a couple of bucks for the BB then.

It depends on what you wnat to do. I would go witht he BB personally since in Long Island area you are more likely to need the ground clearance than the ability to pivot off of a boulder.

I say either get the doors, or put the money toward a real lift. I don't see many people who have ran a spacer lift for more than a year. I wish I had never wasted money on one.
