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.

Post some pictures! Congrats on your Jl!

Congrats and enjoy your new JL.

Throw up some pics when you have an opportunity.

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?

 

[Rob97RR]

Is the Mopar lift even available to purchase yet?

 

[jericbarg]

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.

Congrats. 2 questions.
1) Pics?
2) What wheel/tire combo did you go with?

 

[obiwankabaldi]

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.
