Well by doing that much lift your tires will look ridiculous. Ask me or aircruiser as we both did the same thing. I would suggest tires and skid plates and go have some fun. Long arms are something everyone wants, but just need to be patient as it is very expensive.

considering how these are the best tires iv ever run im in no rush to get rid of them, and basically all ill need after a long arm is lockers and tires if need be considering i get a skid with the long arm kit and i will get diff covers and gas tank skid as the money is there.

Update Time: So thanks to sflxj im currently waiting for my RC Long Arm upgrade kit to arrive in the mail. then ill need longer brake lines, bigger shocks, tom woods driveshaft and a more heavy duty trac bar and my suspension will be fully redone and finished, my plans are to have the jeep finished by summer. i also want more skid plates (gas tank fully belly) rear off road bumper with recovery points roof rack with lights and tire mount and finally go back to 33s. prolly forgot stuff like the aussie front locker i want lol but thats where i stand now. stay tuned.
