Looks good, are you manual or auto?

Im trying to decide if I should get 285/75R17 nitto MTs. Mines a sport with manual.
Wondering if axles would be okay with such a heavy tire

Now with 2.5" lift

That looks perfect to me. What lift did you go with? Would you mind taking a measurement from the bottom of the pinch weld on the body to the ground? I'd like to compare to how mine site to see how much higher it would be. If I stepped up from the Rubicon takeoffs, I'd do a setup like yours. How is the gearing with the 35's?

I just went with the rough country 2.5 spacer lift. I will have to pull the measurements when I get home from out of town. Gearing is not too bad, i don't see 8th much anymore on my auto trans, it is much better than my 07 jku was with manual trans and 3.21 gears on 35s.

Ok that's great. Don't worry about a measurement since you got a spacer lift. It's the spring lifts that are so unpredictable is why I was wondering what your height was.

Nice looking ride. Cant wait to get mine, ordered same color :captain:

What wheels are those and what specs for them? Offset?

Is it manual or auto? Did or are you thinking of regearing?

Thanks! Love the ocean blue, was my second choice to sting grey.

Procomp predator wheels, 17x8.5. I think 0 offset.

Manual, my next purchase will be gears forsure! Going to 4.56, i lost 6th gear completely

Yeah that Stingray Grey looks amazing, I was between the 2. When I get mine I will put on the 35s and 2.5 lift and see how it goes, but I predict a regear fo sho in my future.

Its my first Jeep but my family has had a few of them in the past, so I know my way around them.

Again, mad props on your awesome ride :like:
