Haha nooo, I like my 4x4. After selling the extra parts I still have less than $300 into the lift surprisingly. Rusty's 3.5" full leaf lift, RE superflex lcas, new oem uppers, RE trackbar, MJ shackles and 1/2" spacers up front to even it at 4"s.

RC 3" doesn't seem to be as bad, but I prefer Rusty's. I find some great deals on craigslist for parts haha. You should check out my build thread if you haven't.

canyons, ravines and moabs are my favourite factory jeep wheels.
i'd would like moabs on my grocery getter, but would hate to have to go with a 16 inch tire. i already have many sets of 15s.

plastidip can be peeled off so you can do whatever you'd like!

See that's what I was thinkin, but just was seein if someone's already done it and had a pic..hahaha it's still cold here so can't do it yet..

I was thinkin about the canyons, but sense there 8s I cant run my stock size tires...it's just a daily, so I'm not lifting it or anything like that...( I know boring as hell! ) So I don't want to have to run a bigger tire..it's only 2 wheel and gets good mpgs and I like that lol

I did my wheels in 35 degree weather, just keep the cans warm and run them under hot tap water before use, shake it a lot.

I have to disagree.. You want whatever you are painting to be warm as well. For best results have the rims in a shop set to around 70-75* overnight and maintain that temp until they're ready to installed again. This is how all the paintwork is done at my dads auto body shop, he has done many cars(mainly classics) that are 10k+ paint jobs. Just my .02 cents but I would do this for the best results
