We took delivery today of a White JL Sahara.
I have already ordered wheels/tires (Discount tire direct) and in the process of lifting it now.
Not much out there so I will just make a JK budget boost fit until a full fledged aftermarket lift comes out.

Congrats! As for lift is there a reason you didn't go with MOPAR since it appears you are in a rush to lift with JK altered lift instead?

The 2 inch Mopar lift is out there, I can just cut some spacers for less than $20 until an aftermarket becomes available.
I plan on lifting it just 1 inch in the rear and 2 in the front for now. That can be done with very little geometery change.

curious about the wheel/tire combo also....So much mish mash on offset/backspacing that my eyes cross. Want to buy (first time) Wrangler Sport S and know that I want 33" tires on it and a bit oustside the fenders. Like that look.....thanks in advance for the help....

I went with American Outlaw wheels -10 offset so the wheels do not sit too far out. 35x12.5 Duratracs.
If you want more offset go with -15 that will put the wheel/tire combo 5mm more out away from the axle.
Discout tire direct (Clint) gave me a screaming deal on the set and also $200 in rebates and $50 forum discount. Wheels/tires should be here Monday.
I am on a hunting trip until Sunday, pics will come.

BTW- I purchased from a dealer that is usually way high on price. Theycame off MSRP quite a bit and gave me $3000 more for my trade than I paid for it back in August. NONE of the Hendricks Dealer wanted to sell a JL, they were MSRP or go away, and that was to me a customer that had purchased 4 Corvettes over the last 4 years.

My Son took a few pics, 3 of the wheels/tires came in today. The 35 barely hit the rear bumper when mounted on spare carrier. It will actually stabilize the spare with no ill effects.

2 in front 1 in. rear JK budget boost. Plenty of brake line and ABS harness in front, JEEP helped us out there with the way the harness is fastened.

Not perfect but all I have right now, full lift in a couple weeks when I get time.
