Northridge 4x4 in Silverdale did mine, lift/tires/bumpers. All in all a very good experience, they know what they're doing, and the trip over on a ferry on a Tuesday afternoon to drop the Jeep was absolutely worth it.
I don't actually live in Humptulips; it's just my favorite name for a town, ever. I actually live in Bum F* Egypt, but still West of the Cascades and took the Seattle-Bremerton ferry to go see Northridge.

Also, I'd recommend just skipping the BB and saving up your coin for the long arm. The BB doesn't do anything to get you closer to the long arm. It just spends your $$ delaying what you really want. You'll be very happy on a 4in long arm with 35s. just try to get to your desired stated as quick as you can so you can enjoy your rig at that state longer. And of course Northridge is where you want to go.
In the meantime, your stock Rubicon will be plenty capable for the WABDR and much much more.

Thank you!
The reason for BB is due to budget. I can't throw in so much into a 4" long arm after buying this JKUR .
4" long arm itself would be close to $4K, I mean quality ones, and then I need to upgrade drive shafts, steering kits, blah blah blah, that is close to $7K (because I am not good at DIY), don't have so much at this moment. I need to save some for winch, recovery kits and bumpers for my WABDR exploration.
On the other hand, what I understand is that, key players such as RK, TF provides long arm upgrade system where I can retain my BB spacers for future upgrade, certainly correct me if I am wrong.
My mod on the first JK 2d basically follow friends' suggestions, but this time, I am trying to build one myself, so have to plan accordingly.
I look forward to wheeling with ya guys in the future.
