Yea, that's the only downfall is you have to cut so much. I won't do that to my red jeep but I'd be willing to get another one and chop away... Maybe i can get that one back from my Daughter one of these days...

Yes to ACOS spacers. I really wanted to keep the CG down as well. I plan on trimming and re-using the stock fenders (cut and splice + Glass work) to
give the illusion of a still "stock" look.

With 35's you'll loose a lot of that nice 4.0L torque feel if you don't regear.
You won't be able to pull a very big hill in overdrive without it down shifting with 35's.
Trust me... Running 35's is a regear.

What size wheels did you use on your jeep? What size tires did you use? I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and wanted to lift it. I love how your jeep looks
