The guys in this thread know their tires, they won't steer you in the wrong direction. Wheels are a matter of preference, in all honesty. |

Sub 2k, or lower. Also looking at lift kits (I think TRD makes a pretty cheap one)

I guess all 5, but not sure how that works out with this backup camera thing that was stock. If I remove the tire cover, the camera will be exposed and not sure the cover will fit anything bigger. |

I put the soft top on today (Trektop NX). Let's hope the nice weather is here to stay in the North East. Will probably put the soft doors on soon too.

Joe- your jeep looks nasty with those tires, love it.
I'll be running spacers soon as a result of the width of the axle I am installing. |

Spacers are used by a lot of people, I haven't heard of any issues from those who have properly installed and maintained them. Personally, I didn't want something additional between the wheel and hub/rotor. I do like the wider look... that's why I went with a 4.25" backspaced wheel. |

Yeah, well since my axles will be different widths you can count out getting wheels with different backspacing.

I'm running 1.5 Spidertrax and have done quite a bit of off-roading with no negative issues thus far. I check my wheel torque frequently and when I rotate my tires every oil change, I double check the spacer torque.
Some updated pics of my WK. Sorry, weather has been crappy today. I'm going to get rid of the 33's and go back down to 265/70's or 255/75's. I don't want to trim the hell out of my fenders and I was happy with the look of the 32's. Here's how it sits currently: DSC00793 DSC00790 |

Yeah, I have a mega drop that isn't low enough, next step is having someone weld on a higher hitch to the trailer. 2" ball would make my life easier anyways.

Here's a few vids of it. Nothing special. I did a decent blue up at Rausch Creek with it but was worried about driving more so than video.

Dirty Parts recommended that I give the Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks a try so that's what I went with. Gave me a nice deal on them, too.
I prefer to buy American when I can. |

Rancho's installed! They look and feel great and the 10 way adjustability function is pretty neat.
When they pulled out the Pro Comp's the bushings literally fell out. They were utterly ravaged. I finally feel like my Jeep is drivable. Now what? |
