That's a great question, because that's almost exactly what I had done 2 years ago. Teraflex 2.5 spacer lift and put on 35s. I love it and have had no issues. The person who did it recommended it, because the ride is so much better. I'd like to know what the cons are too!
When I upgraded to 35" and 2.5" lift, we didn't regear. The person that did my lift said it's not necessary with the newer JL 8 speed. This guy does a lot of lifts. I had it done 2 years ago, and the ride is great. By the way, my total height is 75".
9 & 10 for me. I've never had a vehicle I felt comfortable taking off road. So many great times on Arizona trails. Also, a lot of fun with all the mods. I never thought I'd enjoy it this much, and wish I bought one sooner!
I'm not sure if someone has already asked you, but where did you get those grab handles? Not sure who MDG is. If you have a link, that'd be great. Thanks.
