Finally got to push my jeep this weekend... I have 35's the teraflex 2.5" coils which netted 3.5" on my 2door. I only have the stock rubi shocks with the extensions. Flex is poor at best but the lockers pulled me thru with tires in the air. Was planning next mod to be front bumper & winch. Now thinking flat fenders and OME long travel shocks! Which would you do first?

 

Agreed, recovery gear is always a plus, and as long as you wheel with someone who has a winch it's not AS big a priority. That being said it's trail manners to abuse your own gear instead of others.

Longer shocks might also be a great idea, get your articulation back.

 

If you are indeed disconnecting the swaybars, then your bump stops might be stopping your flex?

 

Yes I'm disconnected... and almost always with someone that has a winch.
