The Time Has Come...And I Don't Know Much About Jeeps.
I've Had My Jeep For Since April 2009 And It's Time For Some Serious Modifications. I Want To Include Nice, Bigger Tires And A Lift. It's Ony 2WD But I Ain't Using It For Any Hardcore Off-Roading. Just For Daily Driving And Recreation Like The Beach, Trails, And Not So Intense Off-Roading. Any Advice On Exterior Upgrades? The Rims Gotta Go. I'll Get Some Black Or Carbon Colored Rims. As For The Lift, I Don't Know Jack **** About Lifts. If Necessary, I'll Probably Get Rid Of The Fender Flares And Bumpers.

Ooooooo fancy wood grain...lol
repaint your faded trim black again
get some window deflectors
Get some black steelies (4" back space) and some meats
Roof Rack maybe????
clear blinker lenses? aftermarket taillights?
Exhaust, bored TB, cold air intake??
How how are you wanting to go? its your jeep.....
you could do a 2" Budget Boost (coil spacers, lift shackles) and fit 31's, but you might rub a little
or do a standard 3" lift and fit 31's w/ no issues at all...its all on you
surf this thread for some ideas....

so basically 3" lift on 31's is what your looking for....
whats your budget? and mechanical skills? could you change out coil springs and leaf springs?
id go with this....
http://www.4wheelcustoms.com/Products.asp?Cat=368
and pick out some good Bilstiens or the RE Monotubes for shocks....
that way you'll fit 31's with no rubbing or trimming
or go the cheap route....

Rims are on you, need 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, wouldnt go bigger than 16" rims, get something with 4" of back space, will give you nice aggressive stance.
Tires are all you too....you can fit 30x9.50's on the 2" lift and 31x10.50's on the 3.5" lift.

I've Never Had The Opportunity To Work On Vehicles So I'd Say I Do Not Have The Mechanical Skills Required. But Being A Smart Guy, I'd Learn Very Fast Cause I'm A Hands-On Person And Have Found An Interest In Jeeps. My Sister's Dad Owns A Body Shop And He Has Numerous Connections. There's A Good Chance I Can Get A Lift Kit And Tires Installed Free Or Very Cheap. I Might Get The Actual Parts Required At A Cheaper Price Too If I'm Very Lucky. My Paycheck Averages Around $350 Every Two Weeks After Bills Paid.

well then, do what you think will suit your needs best.
the RE kit will perform better on and off road
the tera flex kit is just an add on to the stock suspension, which might suck already?
a good month of saving and you could afford the Rubicon Express lift...
and then go to Schwabies and get some rims n tires!

BTW, I checked every word and am impressed how every word starts with a capital letter.
