Got some goodies in
. I also forgot to mention that I picked a brand new set of JKS Quicker Discos off an JF member. He made me a deal and saved me $35!
Now if only I could find some time & space to get these things installed! I also need to get a rear CB Antenna mount.
*Not Picutred: Factory GTS.*
Hmmm... I wonder what this could be

Yep. Quite startled that she came through like she did. Definitely a keeper.
AJ's Super RockRails.
Customer service has been nothing short of excellent. We exchanged a few messages and was nice actually talking to the business that has made quite an expense accessory for your Jeep. Can't wait for it to show up tomorrow!

Wow, for a 2" lift it sure gave you some decent clearance in the front/rear.
I know you said you added a rear AAL but it still looked good before that.
Maybe the 30" tire size gives a better lifted "stance" than a 31" or 32" tire would with the 2" lift.
I have been kicking around the idea of the 2" lift and even possibly the 3" but after looking at several options and pics of builds I keep going back to your build and shaking my head
.
Question: Do you have a link to the lift you bought?
Keep it up, lookin' great!

I like the 30s. I don't have to worry about rubbing, I only lose a little bit of MPG, the stance looks great IMO, I have room to flex, and I've heard that you start noticing power loss at 31s on stock gearing. I think 2"-2.5" is the perfect height for a DD/Capable XJ.
I got mine through 4WD because they were having an awesome sale (5% off with free shipping). I would suggest you looking into JeepinOutfitters or DPGOffroad if your wanting to get an Old Man Emu kit. Old Man Emu suspension components are expensive, but then again your getting the best quality out there from a lift kit. The ride is phenomenal and I have yet to see anyone have a bad experience with OME parts.
. PM if you want to chat more about it.

Phew, it's been a busy week with school. I found sometime tonight to unwrap my AJ's Super RockRails (My girlfriend got me these ). Everything looks good to me... now all i've got to do is Sand/Steel Wool, Clean (Mineral Spirits), Prime (Rustoleum Primer), Paint (Rustoleum Semi-Gloss).
