    What lift for 33s?

    I have the 2 inch JKS kit. Netted close to 3 " in front, and 2.5 rear, and put 1.25 body lift. My 33x12.5x15's clear, and have plenty of space. Nice thing about the JKS, is you don't need to add extra parts like sway bad disconnects and adjustable track bars. The other thing we did, was to...

    Mickey Thompson Tire Comparison

    I have 35x12.5x17 MT BB MTs on my JT, and they have been great, other than the noise. 5 tire rotation, and I am at about 45k miles on the set, and will need to replace before my trip out west this summer. The BBs did not do too very well on the snow/ice we had for the week here... Than said...

    Anyone running a 2 1/2" lift with 33 in tires? Pics / Opinions wanted!

    ^This. Before I did the lift, I installed all new control arms, and steering. The Trackbar, sway bar links, and shocks I knew were in the JKS kit, so I just used the Kit parts.

    Anyone running a 2 1/2" lift with 33 in tires? Pics / Opinions wanted!

    Between the 33x12.5x15, and the 15x8/3.5"BS I wish I had wide flares... that pic of mine is just from driving down my gravel driveway after rain... It really only looks like you gained 2 inches out of your 3"... I have WAY more gap above my tires...

    Mine is JKS 2 inch with 1.5" body on 33's... The lift netted closer to 2.75 inches in front, and 2.5 in rear.

    Summer Tires vs All Season vs ATs

    You only like those because they overpower/drown out the nagging from the passenger seat...

    Cerakote ruined my trim finish. What happened and how can I fix it?

    You might be able to use some 100% isopropyl and a white (or a well used green) scotch Brite pad and clean it off... but you need to apply it in shade, after fully degreasing and making sure it is 100% dry. Any grease, or other product, or water will cause it to streak.

    Cerakote ruined my trim finish. What happened and how can I fix it?

    I have the Khaki factory flares. I washed them with dawn, pressure rinsed, and let them dry for a few days... ANY moisture will cause the Cerakote trim restorer to streak. I applied it to mine a year ago now, and it still looks as good as it did when I applied it...

    Summer Tires vs All Season vs ATs

    Im running 33x12.5x15 Falken Wildpeak AT3s on my TJ, and will be putting the AT4s on my JT soon. They are a very quiet tire, are 3 peak weather rated, can be had in load range C (both the ones on the TJ, and the ones I'll be installing on the JT are C), and have great warranties (50k on the...

    Why do you need this in your trail kit?

    I've never had my brake dust shield need tweaking after offroading... but then I've never had a wheel fall off either...

    Lifted Truck Aggression?

    Just keep a handful of pennies in the vehicle... I use to flip them out the sunroof when I had people riding my tail at 85 down I-95 in S. FL... In the Jeeps, I try to catch enough road edge gravel to get them to back off... And yeah, here in AL, and TN it's illegal to drive in the right...
