Help Me Build My Jeep
Have about $5K to spend, but I don't need a monster. It's also going to see highway miles.
2013 JK Sport 6spd 3:73
Already have LOD Armorlite Midwidth, Rigid Ind LED's, and M8000S winch.
Looking to go 35's and a 2.5" lift.
Thinking 4:56 gears (DD), Detroit Trutrac in rear, maybe Eaton E Locker up front
2.5" Rock Krawler Lift with Bilstein 5100 or maybe Fox Shocks
Tires---?
Wheels---?
Spare tire carrier---?

If you're doing gears might as well install a trutrac in the front also, labor cost should be about the same
Duratracs seem to get good reviews for an all purpose tire
I like stock wheels with spacers for a mild build
If it's not going to see a lot of crawling and flexing teraflexs 2.5 coil lift with shocks is a pretty complete no fuss basic lift
In fact I ran that lift, 35 MTRs, and trutrac front and rear in my old jk and it worked great as a daily driver

Was thinking maybe an E locker up front. Stock wheels are already gone. My daughter's JKU gets my MTB wheels and Grabber AT2's
