Default Jk Part Suggestions

Ive had my JK Sahara for about 3 months now and i've decided to finally upgrade it a bit . Here is a pic of it stock.



I'm looking at 35" tires with 16" wheels and a 3" lift. Suggestions really appreciated especially with company's. How is Mickey Thompson with wheels? And Full Traction for there 3" lifts? BF Goodrich or WRT's?

Thanks in advance!

i can't suggest what to do with yours, but i can tell you what i'm eventually going to do with mine.

1) armor (skid row oil pan/ tranny, and i'm waiting to see shrockworks intermediate length front bumper, garvins rear, PSC's ricochets and tube fenders)

2) RE superflex short arm kit w/ M.O.R.E. 1" BL

3) 37" tires (i haven't decided who's getting my dollar for these)

4) Cage.

and of course, all of this is subjective. right now i'm saving money for it all, and if someone comes up with something i like better in mean time...i.e, i'm curious to see how the new AirRock suspension system performs with all the new electronics in the JK.

Skippy, that pic looks like it could be SoCal?

Your choices are solid. I understand that Bilstein has been working on some new shocks for the JK. Supposedly they are going to be really good. You may want to dig around for info. on those.
