I was looking at Teraflex and Rubicon Express for a 2.5” lift. I think I’ll want 35s at some point.

Unrelated question: Some people don’t have that space between the fenders and the bumper. Is that due to elongated fenders or an extended bumper?

Those are some sport models. This pic is a Willy sport. Lot of Jeepers knock those off sometimes they don't like them.

I assume you have a 4-Door.

I would like to see the factory steel bumpers chromed.

Not sure I'd like it... but I want to see it.

I thought about that and 80's pickup bumpers came to mind. Tube was a last minute edit before posting that post.

Yes, 2022 Sahara. Thank you.

Yes, 2022 Sahara. Thank you.

Forgot to mention, the red line is not true. My Sahara has stock wheels and no need for that.

Thanks. Super helpful considering sales people are 1) there to sell and upsell 2) just working to pay their bills. I’ve walked into several tire shops, equipped with under 3 months of driving/car ownership experience, and I knew more than the person “helping” me.

Is it possible that chrome trim might interfere with the blind spot sensors in the taillights?

Update:

I was so confused by this because it sounded as if choosing chrome opposed to another color would block the sensor.

Now, that they're on and the indicator light in the side mirrors stays lit, I see that you most likely meant ANY color trim would block the sensor. Naturally, when I asked the seller this before I purchased them, I was ensured in wouldn't be a problem. Sad, because they looked great on my Tuscadero Pearlcoat, along with my white accessories. The black taillights ruin the whole look.
