All of this will come with time, I'm just trying to decide which upgrades to do first.

I will eventually add a winch and either a stinger or pre-runner to the bumper(haven't decided).

I'm also all ears(well, eyes, i guess) to any upgrades falling in the $600-700 range.


What I'm currently running:

2dr X 6-speed (24S package)

Daystar 1 3/4" front coil spacer
Daystar 3/4" rear coil spacer
Side steps(should have went w/ rockers, I know)
32" Rubi tires on stock 17's

Is it going to be necessary to run wheel spacers?
Also, the reason I'm looking at the snorkel is because I hydro'd my last engine BUT, I've since learned not to be a dummy and fly through mud/water holes! Unfortunately now I'm pretty hesitant about getting into any mud/water....paranoid I guess. So that's where a snorkel would help...I just think it might look a little goofy on a (basically)stock jeep.


Thanks guys/gals

PS. Almost identical picture (sorry joe002, i stole it!) of what it would look like with the lift.

 

It's not called Paranoia, it is Experience Based Wisdom!

 

Very expensive wisdom!

 

some people always tend to do lifts with tires together, cuz without them new shoes who knows what people will think

Here is what mine looked like with 3.5 inches of lift and stock tires. You will not need spacers unless you switch to a wider tire. I didn't think it looked bad, not great but not bad. I ran it like that for a couple of months. I just bought my new meats and will have them installed hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

 

Get the weight on the JK before you decide on a lift...

add bumpers, winch, bigger tires...etc to get the JK sagging. Once you have done that pick a Lift that will work with your tire size, off-road capability you want as well as stance. my 2cents.

 

I have have the teraflex 2.5 coils and love them. I do have the run spacers on the stock rubi tires. I have noticed a drastic difference once I got the lift and shocks and would highly recommend it.

 

Hate to be the bad news bear but Tera is backordered on the 2.5" coils until January 15th
