Yeah, she sits at 4 inch rear and 3 front, but 8 hours from now she'll be 4.5/5 all around.. Then just needs new wheels and shoes. These stock wheels and thirty inch tires are killing me.

Nice. I was thinking about moving up to 4.5 inches or so by using coil boosters and shackles. I still like being able to fit in my garage though lol. I think I'll see how 33s fit with my 3 inch lift and trimmed fenders before I do anything though.

The thing with 4.5+ inch lifts is that you have to worry about things like steering, brakes, having to get long arms, etc.

Got the new coils on the front and new shocks as well, and I'm at 4 and a quarter all around give or take a very small amount. All of my brake lines are fine and have plenty of slack for flex still, and my LCA angle is still very acceptable which I'm pleased about. I was worried putting the front at the same height as the rear and possibly moving the axle backwards a bit would really do a number on my driveline and such causing horror, but not a single side effect popped up! Rides great, is all level and high now, and I love it. Haha. Just had to share. My 29.8" snow tires are so small now.. haha

God I wish I could, I'd love a new set of wheels with 3.75 Backspacing and some... 32's I think I'd go with. If OCC decides to help me with tuition again this semester, I'll have all the money I was going to have to spend on tuition this week to blow on my Jeep. Hopeful to say the least

I'm guessing you'd get the 32x10.5's? I hope you get to blow the extra money on tires haha. Its always nice once in a while to do a shopping spree for your Jeep

Yep, would like to stay at a 10.5 wide tire. 31 or 32 will have to be decided once I know where my money has to go.
