Made in China steel wheels. Pretty common so you should be able to find them for $50 each with 3.75" BS.

Went in today at lunch. Wouldn't give me my money back, but the manager found me springs and shocks. The spring part number is different and I'm a little worried he just gave me shorter springs to make it happen.

I'm never going back to 4wheelparts again. Serious Offroad Products will be where I spend my money from now on. Funny, because I haven't spent a dime there yet, but Frank is a straight shooter and honest man. That's all I want.

You haven't received or installed any parts and they won't give you your money back? That's BS. They WOULD give me my money back if I had to go all the way to the top...

I'd tell them to **** off. They can sell you the wrong parts for the same money. I'd fight them tooth and nail.

I have a 2" lift currently with coil spacers, shackle relocation brackets, and 1.5"-2" shackles.

I am moving to 3" next summer. I have a 1" up country package from a friends jeep that i basically got for free. When i move to 3" should I just use the upcountry leafs or build a bastard pack with it?

I am not spending $300 on new leafs either. Im on a budget.

Is it possible to run a 3inch rough country lift (on a 2000 xj) with 32's(255 70/17r wrangler take offs) ? If so how much would I have to trim off the front?
