Hey all,
Really new to jeeping here. Got our 2016 JKUR manual trans 2 years ago. Fell in love with it immediately! New to wheeling too, but we’ve been over a lot of what Hollister Hills has to offer and have made a trip down to Mojave. Mostly mild stuff until our little Jeep can grow up.
We’re looking at 2.5” lift and 35’s for now. I’d like to jump to 3.5” w/ 37’s, but I’d like to grow our skills with the Jeep. Maybe that sounds funny, but it’s also my wife’s DD and I want to do incremental growth so she’s happy with it the whole time. Also, I don’t know what I think about reinforcing stock axles vs upgraded swaps, etc. Probably over thinking it!
So far: we’ve replaced the exhaust with aFe exhaust, the stock one got smashed [emoji16], installed Poison Spyder Brawler Lite front bumper and Warn VR10 (going to do their rear bumper and flares too), VIAIR compressor under the hood, nifty Hi-Lift jack mount from Offroad Dominion, and speaker upgrade so we can actually listen to tunes with the top and doors off.
That’s about it for now. Saving up cash for flares, rear bumper, lift, wheels and tires now. I already told the kids they’re on their own for college, [emoji23]. I’ve been checking Craigslist because I’m thinking of selling my truck to buy a second Jeep [emoji23]. Help! I think I’m sick!!

. Other than adding c gussets to your front axle I would recommend just wheeling and replace parts as needed. Save up money for new axles when you decide to go to 37s.
