I got a 12' sport so far I have 33x12.50s and a 2" budget boost lift. I got the alignment checked out and im going to weld C gussets this week. I put a rear bumper and tire carrier on it because i was prob a little over concerned about the extra weight on the rear door.
What im getting at is whats next??? Im in New Orleans so its flat and will not be doing much wheeling other than just getting around the horrible roads around here.

Welcome to The forum. I'm not sure about the area but tires? I don't know why do you need c gussets thinking.I am running 34"tires without c gussets thinking.

I want to put the Cs on because it seems like there have been so many people that have bent them, im not running that big of a tire {for now) but i do plan on jumping a curb pretty often, and the roads here are just about like jumping curbs anyways I blew a tire on a pot hole the first week i had my charger

If you jump anything in the Jeep you are going to need more than c gussets they are not made to jump. It's called slow and go. you go fast you're going to break things no matter what you have..
