....depending on what size tires you bought, you may want to look into a rear bumper and tire carrier.

Maybe a Superchips Flashpaq to give you a little more pep and adjust your speedo.

Have any pics?

If you got the money to regear, so that. You may want to look into a chip to recal your computer.

I agree with JKRed..... Tire carrier is a must with 35's and up. To much weight for the stock tire carrier, especially if you off road.

I have the same problem...35" KM2 on the stock tire carrier, but I have an LOD Gen 3 coming in 2-4 more weeks...think the tailgate will last that long?

Really depends on what you like. There are plenty of threads showing off bumpers and tires carriers. If you wanna spend more, get the combo. There are also a ton of strictly carrier options out there. I personally like the AEV tire carrier, mounts right to your frame, can be used with the stock bumper, which will save you a few dollars.

Use the search tool, you'll find some good stuff.

I did the same thing and you need to do 2 things pretty quickly...#1 if you do any highway driving at all and would like to use your overdrive, you will need a re-gear ASAP. I'm doing 5.13s next tuesday. #2 you need to get a rear tire carrier. I have the or fab carrier on order. Should be here any day now. $475 shipped from Northridge. All the bumpers etc can wait out this round.
