Default New 2008 Sahara

Well, I finally got mine. I work for a CJD dealer and have been watching these Jeeps for a while and finally got the right money for my YJ and TJ and got my JK.

I am very confused on what to do as far as lifting and tires. I am thinking of a BB lift, but I am not finding a lot of tires to fit my 18" wheels. I don't want to go any wider than the fender flares that I have at this point either. Any ideas?

I ordered about $800 worth of the MOPAR bolt on crap and will need to work on my next bonus check, please help!

Try the BF goodrich 305 65 18 All Terrain. It measures out just under a 34. Runs good and is quiet. I have them on my 07 Sahara 4 door with the 18 inch wheels.

I was hoping to find the BFG's, I have had them on previous Jeeps and trucks and was having a hard time finding them. Will I have any issues with a 34" tall tire and a 2 1/2" BB lift on a trail?

This Jeep will mostly be on the road until its a little older (or until I am totally bored with my others), but I cannot leave it stock.

You'll be fine with that setup. Lots of people are running 35s with that lift.
