Looks great! Man...I'm having a horrible time deciding between 35s and 37s. 37s appear to be a the best look for the 4 doors but on the 2 doors 35s seem to be adequate. I know 35s will give the best street performance also. But then again....ARG!!!
For looks i think it depends on how high you lift your Jeep. I was on the fence about getting 37's too, but with this small of a lift 35's look Okay doaky to me.

I disagree with that statement! I have 35" on my four door with no lift and I think it looks great!

Love those rims, whole setup is wrecks man. Got a new Rubicon Unlimited and when the 33's go out gonna upgrade to 35's myself. Did you have to do any special aligning after install?

I didn't have to do anything after install.....although I did bring it into my dealership and they did a front end alignment to try and fix my "loose" steering issue. tires and rims did not cause this issue, if anything, they made it better.

How do you like the Falcon 2.1 shocks? Do they ride rough?

Can you give some feedback on what you did to install them? I have a set in the garage waiting to install. How long did it take you for each side. Did you take the inner off all the way? Do you follow the wires from the lights and the new turn signals just plug in? Thanks in advance. Trying trying to figure what is the best way to install them.
There is a pretty lengthy thread on these here that goes into great detail on owner install experiences. The install wasn't too bad, you will need to drill out a few plastic rivets, so plan on picking up some of those and a plastic rivet gun. I removed about 3/4 of the fender liner on both sides which was enough room to get the lights out and reach the wiring harness connector located towards the upper rear portion of the fender. The new lights indeed plug and play. I left the OEM wiring harnesses in the fender just in case down the road I need to switch back to stock. Total time for install was around 3 hours, started with the passenger side fender and after figuring out how it all came apart, got the driver side installed in 45 minutes.

So far I like them a lot. Actually it's a very comfortable ride. But this can be subjective. It's firm, but compliant. Not like my Ram 3500.

What are the deets on the straps? I imagine you've got tow and recovery straps? Also, what's the Smittybuilt d-shackle item?

Thank you... I see too much US flag... very popular and not a bad thing, but different is ok.
I was looking at the Alaskan Flag insert because The Big Dipper was the first constellation that my grandfather pointed out to me and the North Star is the quintessential navigational aid. I opted for old glory instead because I'm not from Alaska.
