So after much debating and wanting to do this for 8 years now, I finally broke down and decided to mod the hell out of my jeep. I have a 2010 JK unlimited sport automatic 4wd(of course) and this is what I ordered:

pro comp 4 in suspension lift
pro comp alloy series 7089 blck 17x9 wheels
Duratrac 315/70 r 17 tires
dana 44 5.13 rear
dana 30 5.13 front
warn xd9000i winch
xrc front bumper
xrc rear bumper
4 d rings
xrc fender flares (free with bumpers)
hi lift jack


Is there anything I am missing or screwed up on? My jeep is all stock at the moment other than some lighting and line-x

and yes i realized i should not have mad mods possesive

I think you may need to change your Drive lines with that lift. You may want to call pro comp and ask them.

^^Agreed. The front DS could definitely need replacing if you disconnect offroad. You are also going to need to flash your computer to account for the tire diameter increase (i.e. Procal or Superchips). Take a look at the FAQ section and compare what you are buying to what is recommended for that lift height. You probably should also consider reinforcing your front C's to help handle the bigger tires.

I am having 4 wheel parts do most of the work since i am a newbie. I am assuming they will flash it and I will make it a point that they do that. What are C's? I was reading about the DS when i got home I will definitely add that tomorrow.

also can you recommend a specific drive shaft, i was reading the newbies section and saw a double cardin U-joint style is recommended. Are there any particular shafts that you have had good luck with?

Not certain how they can do that. Even the dealer is limited to 32" largest tire size. I don't think any non-dealers have the dealer software tools to flash the firmware. And, besides, not certain that the flash would hold in the event that the dealer should reflash your Jeep (say, for a recall as happened a couple years ago). The aftermarket programmers (Hypertech, ProCal, etc) are tied to a specific VIN. You should just buy one and be done with it (depending on the model, there are other advantages--I'll let you research that in the forums).

Does that lift include quick disconnects? If you plan to off-road this rig (I hope you do!), it will make life a little easier if you have some. With the winch, you probably should get a couple extra things like a tree saver and a snatch block. Finally, I like your wheel choice ...
