Default Looking at a jk build

Hey guys I've been contemplating this for awhile now and i think I'm going to be ready to start this summer. Right now I own a truck but I think a jku has more to offer right now. I don't tow that often and I want to be able to trail ride more often. Not to mention take the doors and top off and have fun. I want a stock jeep that I can build up in the years to come. I just wanted to see what you guys think and have to say. I'm realizing how different the trucking world is to the jeep world lol. My short term plan so far is this...
2007-2011 jku rubicon autotrans
Gusset and possibly sleeve the axles right away
I plan to run 4-6" lift on 37s and in the future switch to d60s and run 40s.
Looking at 37/13.5/18 nitto mud or trail graps.
What big lift setups do you guys like?
Switch to 5.13 gears. Once that's all on ill do my other mods.
If you have a jeep similar to this set up please post pics!!!!!!
Thanks

Go read the Sport vs Rubicon threads as there various build info in those threads so it's an on going war hahaha builds are a general question & there are just so many options out there based on your needs, wants & $$$$. & read the Jeep show & tell forum as there's lots of builds & specs.
