I have the MW3 AEV bumpers on it, and a warn 9500cti on there. It's a little low looking.

I want to do 35s, but I think that will have to wait until I kill these tires, since I haven't gotten any bites on craigslist yet.

I just wanna make sure it's not going to look like an old pair of roller skates. LOL

It might look a little funny but the bumper should keep it down some. I am running a 2.5 inch with 33's and I think it looks great.

I have the TF leveling kit that is 2 in the front and 1 in back. Looks better than stock! PS: It's level, but my driveway is not.

What lift do you have? I'm keeping my 32" oem tires for a while and like the look of yours...

Also, does the TF leveling kit interfere with the Rubicon Sway Bar disconnect or does the extended arms take care of everything?

I'm running the 2.5 Teraflex lift kit it got from ORW, a vendor on the forum. Got it with the Bilstein Shocks for about $750. I had the Teraflex leveling kit on my previous JK and different sway bars should not affect the Rubicon disconnect. With the Teraflex 2.5 has you remove the rear sway bar and install them in the front.
