If your still reading this. My words of wisdom are such. "Opinions are like butt holes. Everyone's got one and they all stink."
With that in mind. Do what the heck you want to jeep. I don't disagree with you and your ideals. I had the same with my 1st jeep. I got a 3" lift and 31" tires. Just wanted it a little bigger and cleaner lookin.
I do promise you. That you will want to lift it and then wheel it. That's why they call Jeep's a decease. It's so bloody addicting. I'd personally tell you from my experience. Go 4.5" lift 32" tires and upgrade the steering and all the other stuff to make it a quality ride. You wont regret it and you'll be prepared for the addiction.
But in the end. Do what YOU find fit for your lifestyle and driving needs and wants. I do highly encourage you to stick with quality products. Otherwise your money will be water in the barrel.

 

im thinking about getting RC 4.5kitand adding 1"spacers to the front and shackles on the back. WHAT SIZE WHEELS WOULD BE BETTER 33S OR 32S?
Im mainly using my jeep for light mudding and alot of trail riding and flexing.

 

well WHEELS I would suggest 15x8 with a 5on4.5 bolt pattern and a 3.75 backspacing. but you posted tire sizes. are you interested in TIRE size? if so I say 33's and a trim job

 

yaa sorry i ment tires but im not too sure i wanna trim my fenders tho soo maybe ill go with 32x11.5

 

Through rubicon their shocks are actually more expensive than bilsteins through shockwarehouse.com. They sell the 5100's for 73 a peice and if you get more than one you get free shipping plus a 5% discount for the forum. If you go 5150's though your gonna drop more cheddar, but the 5100 and 5125 are the same, but if you have to go 5125 you have to pay for the front conversion.

 

thats a large lift for 32's

 

33x12.5r15s..

i was lookin at bfg km2s.. but i seen these cooper discoverer stt tires.. you guys heard anything about them? they fall into the 200 and some change category.. so not much cheaper at all than the bfgs.. i went to order some cragar soft 8s at 15x8 and then realized the 33s say you need a minimum 8.5" wheel? maybe im wrong but i thought most guys runnin 33x12.5s are on a 15x8 wheel?

 

I have heard better things about the KM2 then the STT. I know a few that run the STT's on their tow rigs. You will be fine with a 33x12.5r15 tire on a 15x8 wheel. I run a bfg krawler that is 13.5 wide on my 15x8 trailready beadlocks.

 

those krawler wheels are sick!!!

i seen summit racing had those cragars for 42 a piece.. cheapest i can find.. have any other sources worth checking?

 

sorry let me correct myself... krawler tires****

 

right now i have a lift that consists of 3" blocks in rear stock leafs..

should i add shackles or basterd lift? i have leafs to do it and get rid of the blocks just not sure which would be better for travel.

thanks

 

I love the tires! wheel seem to be a good price from summit. see i somewhere close to you will match the price?

 

I would get rid of the blocks and get real leafs. still have not seem a bastard leaf hold up overtime.

 

thanks ill keep that in mind

 

called my local tire shop.. he said to just go with summit right now they are the cheapest around.. quoted me 228 a tire for the km2s.. backordered too.. bummer!
