really? epic fail?
I dont see a reason to have a daily driver and then screw it up by taking it off-road. if i were going to do that I would buy an older beater of a cherokee. But I am not going to because that is a waste of money and not what I am looking to do. I work over 40 hours a week and use the rest of my time studying so I dont really have the free time others have to go wreck my stuff.
so thanks for the help by being a total douche.

With that in mind. Do what the heck you want to jeep. I don't disagree with you and your ideals. I had the same with my 1st jeep. I got a 3" lift and 31" tires. Just wanted it a little bigger and cleaner lookin.
I do promise you. That you will want to lift it and then wheel it. That's why they call Jeep's a decease. It's so bloody addicting. I'd personally tell you from my experience. Go 4.5" lift 32" tires and upgrade the steering and all the other stuff to make it a quality ride. You wont regret it and you'll be prepared for the addiction.
But in the end. Do what YOU find fit for your lifestyle and driving needs and wants. I do highly encourage you to stick with quality products. Otherwise your money will be water in the barrel.

Im mainly using my jeep for light mudding and alot of trail riding and flexing.

Through rubicon their shocks are actually more expensive than bilsteins through shockwarehouse.com. They sell the 5100's for 73 a peice and if you get more than one you get free shipping plus a 5% discount for the forum. If you go 5150's though your gonna drop more cheddar, but the 5100 and 5125 are the same, but if you have to go 5125 you have to pay for the front conversion.

33x12.5r15s..
i was lookin at bfg km2s.. but i seen these cooper discoverer stt tires.. you guys heard anything about them? they fall into the 200 and some change category.. so not much cheaper at all than the bfgs.. i went to order some cragar soft 8s at 15x8 and then realized the 33s say you need a minimum 8.5" wheel? maybe im wrong but i thought most guys runnin 33x12.5s are on a 15x8 wheel?
