Its been a long process, but I'm really happy with how it sits now.

Totally stock:


Some KC daylighters and a 3in RC lift/stock tires



Current stance with the lift, some bajas on the roof rack, and 31x10.5 Cooper STTs

Well I havn't really had any experience with other suspension systems but I have no complaints. It isn't the smoothest or most comfortable thing in the world but hey, it's a Jeep. In hindsight, I think I should have gone with the full leaf packs in the rear, but I just couldn't fork out enough dough and just went with the Add-a-leaf. The shocks are nice too. Granted, it's no Rubicon Express or Old Man Emu kit, but I think you'd be plenty happy.

Yeah, its definitely a lot of fun, clean up afterwards though... not so much. haha. Wish we had some rocks down here.

And btw I'm gonna be painting my wheels tomorrow with a Duplicolor wheel paint. The colors called "graphite" i think. Should look pretty good.

Painted my rims! Duplicolor Wheel Paint in "Graphite". Just sanded em down, wiped them down with acetone and cleaned em up, taped off the tires, and gave them a couple light coats.
