Thanks bob, i’m still getting used to it. Hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll get the first stage of upgrades done and I’ll post new photos. Thanks for the hospitality!Very unique color, and welcome! Very few rigs can pull off that color, and a TJ is one of them.
Thanks for the welcome JMT, right now I’m stuck with the almost new 265/70 R 16’s. I’m hoping the OME 2” lift won’t be too much for them. I don’t want to be the “Electric lime green jeep with too small of tires guy!”Great looking TJ! I’d buy it no questions asked. TJ’s can wear colors most other cars can’t get away with. TX Coastal Bend, eh? I’m in the Hill Country. We Ike to come down and drive the coast every once in awhile. Welcome to TJ ownership. Glad you are back in a Jeep!
2” OME will look great with some 31’s or 32’s.
If your Jeep looks anything like @Chris with the same setup, it will look great!Thanks for the welcome JMT, right now I’m stuck with the almost new 265/70 R 16’s. I’m hoping the OME 2” lift won’t be too much for them. I don’t want to be the “Electric lime green jeep with too small of tires guy!”
BTW, your build is perfect IMO!
I needed new tires so I made the jump to 33s but my original plan was to use the tire size you have and just the OME kit, I don't think the tires will look too small.

That’s a nice green Iperk. Yeah I’m going for it. 2” 0ME springs, Probably Rancho shocks, and small BL up front to level.Big fan of the ELG color! Sharp looking Jeep! Mine is shale green metallic. I also recommend the OME kit. On top of that I also have a 1.25 body lift (and a few other minor suspension parts) to fit 33s. Before /after pic. Rides great.View attachment 43322

Oops, yes that’s what I mean. Still learning... do you think it’s worth buying a spring compression tool since I planned on doing this myself? Wait a minute, I’m going to search for a ”how to” thread...Good plan!
Maybe you mean a spacer up front. A body lift has 11 mounting locations all around your Jeep. Two on the rear, three on each side and three up front. So the body lift will raise the whole tub off the frame. Usually used to give more room for bigger tires, but also for prepping for a TT. Has other benefits as well.
Its all good!Oops, yes that’s what I mean. Still learning... do you think it’s worth buying a spring compression tool since I planned on doing this myself? Wait a minute, I’m going to search for a ”how to” thread...

Thanks EJD, I appreciate everyone’s hospitality. Doing a small 2 inch lift soon will keep everyone posted.Absolutely sharp TJ and one probably my fave color aside from Jeep Green. There is an LJ member on here with the same color. Anyways just wanted to say welcome to the forum and congrats on the Jeep!
