noob from oklahoma
hey all new here I just got a 13 JK Sahara on last Tues and I absolutly love it I cant star out of it for to long. Traded my 12 5.0 mustang for it and dont miss the mustang at all. I hit my 300 mile recommended break in and off-road I went. It does really well I have a 3 inch suspension lift with
35.5" tires. I will be getting a couple inches of body lift probably this week I barely rub climbing just enough to hear it not feel it so that should fix my issue. Heres some pics

Welcome to the forum! Looks like you're finding your way around your new hobby just fine.
Your JK looks nice, well done with the lift and backspacing on the tires. I just wanted to let you know about my experience with suspension lift + body lift and the 2 door Wrangler. My daily driver is a JKUR. But, the family toy is a 2 door with both lifts. Every time we go over a large obstacle, especially if there's a steep drop-off on one side...I wish we didn't have the body lift (at least not as high). The body roll is pronounced and our Jeep would be(feel) more stable without it. My daughters, who are usually quietly freaking out in the back seat would agree with me.
That's just my 2 cents. Your experience may be different than mine.

thanks it really is hardly any rub i think an inch may do it. I'll keep that in mind and try to go as little as possible on the body. wish i would have just got a little smaller tire.

Well called the dealer about the rubbing and how I wasn't happy about it. I picked out a different 13 and they delivered it to me and took the green one back. I now have a true blue I'll post pics soon
