Best case scenario you saved yourself a few hundred bucks, worst case scenario you end up spending the few hundred on something you were going to buy anyway (I am putting my few hundred saved towards a re-gear).

FWIW, I did fender trim and spidertrax 1.5" spacers and I am running a 315/70/17 (essentially a 34" tire) with no lift. I need to trim plastic undertray and add bigger bumpstops and I am good to go with a 35" tire. I prefer the no lift option to keep center of gravity as low as possible.

I have Teraflex Budget Boost spacers and rubi 4dr springs if I ever decide to go 37's

This is an amazing looking jeep. So no lift on it at all? What brand tires are those? Does it matter if my rims are 18"? In other words, will 315/70/18 work as well? Can you post a couple more pics? I have a black 2 door too, and this is making me want to copy what you did here

Thanks for the props, guys So I don't clutter up OP's thread with OT pics, I made a build/show-off thread:

Whoops, I am 305/70/17, not 315/70/17. Sorry about that.
