I never said the 300-400 was including wheels. The used 33" swampers, gambler rims and spacers might bring that number up to $500. The 35s were about 1k though and rims were free. Theres probably less than 3k into her Jeep now including purchase price

It has a used 3 or 3.5" lift plus 2" coil spacers and 2" shackles with some budget shocks and the rubicon express double shear track bar.

For steering, it was stock with the 33" swampers but since the 35s went on we installed a steel steering spacer, steering box reinforcement plate and rustys heavy duty tie rod.

She drives it everyday to work with no problems. And thats without swaybars too.




With all that said, every Jeep is going to be different. Just because one person can get away with one setup doesnt mean another person can do the same. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worse.

Yeah well I have another car and I never drive my jeep it just sits till I get everything to install and like I said I've already bought the 3 inch lift and then the spacers and shackles so I'm stuck with them and I can send back the drop pitman cause that will be an extra 60 back
