As for this its really up to you and what you will be using it for. A daily driver? Straight trail rig? Little of both?

This will help you out if you want to see other lift/tire set ups and how they would look on yours. Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to our obsession!!!

 

Nice to have another person in the obsession. What are you looking to do with your rig is the best thing that can be asked. I have made mine into a good rig and decent daily. What you plan on doing with it is the best way we can help. Don't be afraid to ask questions even if they are a little different so that you can learn more.

 

No trails - daily driver for now.

 

someone rear ended your jeep in its past? the buckling of hte wheels above the tires looks suspiciously like when my grand cherokee got rear ended. that and the lines above the doors are not parallel to the door anymore.

 

Yeah, I got rear-ended hard. Both rear frame rails are bent, but not bad enough where it's affected the ride as far as I can tell - but I didn't have it long enough to see before. Ha. The only thing is when I go over a substantial bump, the back of the Jeep sounds like metal bending.

Any suggestions or insight to what you have had to deal with? Cheers SuperJ.

 

Awesome link, Cap. As for now, it's a daily driver, but I'm definitely looking to beef it up a bit for now.

Any wheel / tire combinations you recommend? Gas mileage is rough as it is - ha.
