Almost ready to start my build
I am finalizing the list of mods before getting started. I have a 09 JK Rubicon Unlimited, currently bone stock...
My desire is to build a jeep that is capable offroad while maintaining street manners since its my daily driver. I intend to run 37" tires so i am thinking about installing a 4" short arm lift (probably Teraflex with the flex arms). I am struggling to find a 17X8.5 or 17X9 rim with less than 4.5" backspacing. I would prefer not to use wheel spacers... MY goal is to complete the build before this summer...
My current wish list is as follows:
Teraflex 4" lift with flex arms (considering EVO long arm kit)
37X12.5 Goodyear MT/R Kevlars
5.13:1 gears
Warn Powerplant HP winch
Bumpers: undecided (looking at LOD)
Rims: Undecided (17X8.5 or 17X9 with 4.5inch or less backspacing)
Front axle C gussets (undecided on axle sleaves)
I would appreciate any feedback from others who have done similar modifications.

. People here run spacers on stock rims when they don't want to buy new rims.
