updating those specs for you: 10k lb winch, xrc modular bumper with bull bar, bushwacker fender flares. And bushwacker was nice enough to send me some replacement screws for my rear fender after I got hit by a car. Did no major damage to the fender though. So thank you Bushwacker.

 

I think you need a snorkel

 

i assume you are running 3.73?

and either manual or auto? enjoy the ride difference?

im looking at a 2.5" dont think i will go a 4"....

doo like the ride. good work.

 

Ye I'm running 3.73 automatic, I did not notice much of a ride difference. If anything I put a dual steering stabilizer on with the 4 inch that made it feel better than the 2.5 also tires rubbed with 2.5. But it's a smooth ride with the all terrain tires

 

You have the same setup I'm looking at for my JKU Sahara... 3.5 - 4" lift, 295 70 R18 Trail Grapplers. I too have the 3.73 gears and automatic. Have you noticed a drop in performance? I've been concerned with moving to the bigger tires and needing to regear.
