Looks good! My only regret on the lift that I installed was not going with LCAs. Did the Rancho correction brackets and while the drive/ride is fantastic, I wheel more than I originally thought I was going to. I scrape those darn brackets all the time and with I had a bit more clearance that longer LCAs would have given.
Enjoy the new lift!

In regards to actual tire size... you could have issues mounting the spare, third brake light could get covered up, and u may rub the front bumper if ur running stock full width. Rear pinch seam and rubicon rails (if u have them) MIT need trimming too. All easy stuff to address once you get the tires/lift on.

If I were you I would run LCAs instead of the correction brackets. Mine got destroyed on the rocks over time.
I would also just get brake lines and not bother with drop brackets. I had drop brackets and had to bend the hard lines to get them to fit. When I finally went to new brake lines I had to bend the brackets back which was no easy task. The rears also didn't go back exactly to where they wre stock so right after I put the new lines on I caught the hard line on my rear sway link bolt and bent it pretty bad. Lucky for me I was able to bend it right back.

I bought the MOrE replacement hinges. the brace peace was out of stock. Ill get that later. Front bumper has the inexpensive shortening caps already. Rubicon rails are already trimmed and ready and theres no pinch seam (2015) Getting the spare mounted up right is something ill address when I see if it fits (stock willys rims with wheel spacers so stock offset)

Not much rock climbing around here. But I do drag bottom hard on a few trails I go on so it could be an issue.

thanks for the suggestions there greatly appreciated. Fooled quite a bit with tjs but this is my first jk and I don't know squat. What ive accumulated and bought and done so far was gleamed from listening to you guys.
