I have been kicking around the idea of some upgrades for a while, but I have been waiting on the OEM rubbers to wear out. Just turned 55k miles on my Oct08 new JK unlimited Rubicon, and I still am not to the wear bars.

Here is what I am looking at getting:


Extreme Rock Rails by Body Armor B/AJK-5321

Mickey Thompson MTZ Radial Tire 33x12.50R-15 m/T5253

Cragar 352 Series Street Lock ''D'' Wheel
Size: 15'' x 8''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 5''
Rear Spacing: 3-3/4''

And the Teraflex Leveling Kit

I have read everything I can find, and I understand I am rolling the dice on the 15" steelies, but I want to tap into the knowledge of the forum. Is there anything wrong with this setup? I am open to suggestions, but I would like to avoid a true lift, and I need some step for the lil'woman.

My jk is generally a daily driver, but I occasionally find myself on the trails.

thanks in advance.

---edit---

one last thing, I notice the cragars do not come with the center caps. Can I run without them?

 

make your own center caps

i belive a 3-3/4 means it will stick out further... than a 4.. or 5.. so he's good!

 

if you really want your tires to stick out that far you will be happy. i have 3.5 bs on my wheels and i stick out way past the stock flares (about 3"). i love the look of mine but you will get mud and road water etc.. all over the sides of the jeep. when i roll down my window and it has rained earlier that day the road water will hit the pillar by my door and get me in the face if i am not carefull. i may be out a little farther than you will cause i have a 9.5 wide rim and a 1/4 in more bs.

 

thanks for the tip on the caps

i understand the BS issue is often confused, but i figure a <BS means less wheel for the caliper to fit into and less risk of rubbing. But, to be fair, i have no clue.

Can i get any feedback about the body armor rock rails?


-----------edit-----------
Just to update for search fxn, I had no issues with fitment on the Cragar Streetlock 15X8s, but i was unable to use the TPMS due to the "faux-lock" impeding the ability to access the valve stem.

The smittybuilt rails look ok, seems sturdy, but I was unable to keep the Rubicon Rails on as I had read earlier. If I would have know this, I wouldnt have bought them.
