Loving this build! I've got some work to do on my 2 door, but builds like this are a great inspiration! Keep up the good work!

Great build man! I'm kind of Jealous because I'm building mine to run 40's agressively, needless to say it's a costly process.
I ran 35's on my 4dr for a few years, they are quite capable with some technique. Heck, 35's on a Pro Rock is pretty bomb proof, 37's not quite as much depending how hard you wheel. I'd want 60's and hydro assist with 37's... but that's just me :thumb:
Thanks for dropping by my build yesterday! I'll keep watching your build,
Cheers,

well if I stick with this Jeep, it'll be 37s, coil overs-maybe stretch and double throw down. but I'm honestly thinking about selling it and buying a 4 door for wheeling and family reasons- from there the possibilities are endless!!

Well everyone, Things just happened to line up well for me this week and I ended up purchasing a 2016 Rubicon Unlimited this afternoon. Fortunately I was able to get it without trading my current JK so ill be able to transfer a lot of the upgrades I have over to the new ride. Once i get the current JK back up and running with the parts from the Rubicon that I can swap over ill then be looking to sell the JK- will be sad to see it go but this is the best move for me going forward and im very excited! No pictures yet as it will be in later this week! Got a pretty good deal today so I was pleased, I even ran into Sharkey when i parked at the dealership, so must have been a sign of good luck!!. I will certainly be sharing some pics through the transition and any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Some good memories from this build! I actually was on 3in in the front and 4in on the rear. I originally ordered 4" springs and it gave me like 5.25 in of lift on the front but the rear bumper/tire carrier combo i had was super heavy and sagged the rear so I kept the 4" in the rear and threw some 3" in the front and it sat pretty level. ended up having right about 4" of lift on the 3" springs, which is advertised.
