either of you guys that have one laying around want to get rid of it? Probably shipping would make it prohibitive though.

I should add... If you add a 1.25 inch body lift you can run 33" tires without causing major issues with your drive line angles. I think this is a very good option that will totally change the look of your Jeep.

I have an OME lift (shocks and springs) and love it. Mine rides better than factory but I purchased my shocks from a guy that originally purchased them 2 years ago and never installed them. I don't know when OME changed their shocks but from what I've heard the newer shocks ride harsh (mine do...

Old Man Emu (ARB). They are a little pricey but give an incredible ride!

JKS is what I have. I think they are hard to beat for the money.

My 06 Rubicon has the plain black seats.

Here is a better pic of the tread pattern and how the tire sets on the wheel. It always helps me to actually see something rather than speculate. I really like the look and have heard great things about the Duratrac. I’ve also heard good things about the KO2s. I don’t think you can go wrong...

Just for reference here is my 06 Rubicon with 285/75R16 Goodyear DuraTracs. You have the exact same wheels so I though you might appreciate a visual. I just put them on but so far I like them.

WOW! I thought you were a Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac guy. Especially in the 33" tire size. What changed your mind?

I thought that I was posting this in the TJ build thread. I made the original post from my phone so I must have fat fingered and accidently posted to this thread. If a moderator wants to move this post I completely understand and it's good by me. Sorry for the mix up. LOL

Here is a pic of my TJ with 285/75R16 (33”) Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on it. I just had them installed a few weeks ago so I can’t attest to their off road abilities but I can say they are very nice on road and I think they have an aggressive looking tread pattern which adds to the look of the...

The first picture is what she looked like when I brought her home a year ago. The bottom two are the almost finished product (it’s never truly finished is it LOL). I slowly acquired what I considered the best all around parts to build a Jeep that will nicely behave on the street and be very...

Tomorrow I plan to install my 1.25" body lift on my 06 TJ Rubicon. I have already installed my Brown Dog 1" motor mount lift and loosened all the body mounts. I know a body lift is pretty self explanatory but I'm a little puzzled on how the radiator pucks work. I would love an explanation...

Because I like the stock rims. I want to keep this jeep classy. It's a very clean 06 Rubicon and I want to respect it's original OEM look. That is also why I'm only doing a mild lift.

I have a 06 Rubicon that I'm in the process of lifting and plan to run 33" tires. I really like the classy look of the factory 06 16" Rubicon wheels and don't plan to change them. I have an opportunity to buy a set of 17" rims in the same style for a real bargain ($150 but will also have to...
