Hey WOL crew:
So , after having my Rubicon since April, I am super hooked. I've already bought a bunch of stuff.
My wife and I are off on some adventure almost every weekend. We want to lift the Rubicon now, and looking for some suggestions. It was actually my wife's idea. So she has once again proven herself as the coolest wife ever.
I really love this site and the community around it. I value the advice from you guys. I would ideally like to support the vendors that support our community too.
Thanks,
Blade

- We want to get a 3.5 inch lift ( with long arms ) : I want something made very well and ideally can still work with my Rubicon auto disconnect. I heard some will allow option to use both the auto one, and manual. I'd prefer not to do crazy surgery to the Jeep too. Black color or charcoal preferred too.
- Tires : 35" tires ( something nice mostly for trails and some rock riding, but still need to be able to drive to work! ) I am thinking about Nitto tires. I live in NorCal and mostly ride in dusty places. Maybe that gets muddy in winter though. Anyone else in Norcal have suggestions?
- Wheels , I am not sure at all, but I like the idea of bead lock wheels. ATX Beadlock Slabs? I could only see them on EVO site. I was not too sure if Beadlock wheels are un-realistic for a daily driver though.
- Shocks : Lastly, will I need to get new shocks when I lift, or will I be able to use the ones I have right now?
