Default Time to buy!

Ok, not looking for cool points on the "looks" (as I've seen people lose their minds when others ask opinions on what they should do to their jeeps), but I am new to all of this and am fixing to drop the bucks on my first few mods. Here is what I am looking at. I mainly wanted to know if this, mechanically, will work good for me.

Also, if there is a better option, please let me know!




setup:

2.5" Teraflex BB or coil lift
16x8 procomp 97 series
procomp mt's 285x75x16



Any suggestions???

Get the coil lift, do it right the first time! Also you may need some adjustable track bars to keep things aligned.

They lengthen as needed to help get the axles centered.

I haven't lifted my jeep yet and I've had it since like May. The reason is because I know I'm not going to be satisfied until its on 37's. So I've been hoarding my monies so that I can do everything at once (tires, wheels, lift, gears, shafts, diff covers, and labor). I know I'll spend a lot of money at once this way, but I'll spend less money over the long run. Just something to really think about, cause jeep upgraders tend to be a bit obsessive.

at the height you are looking for, I would highly suggest the Old Man emu lift.

Good stuff!
