I wouldn't be getting everything all at once. And i would be installing the lift with the help of my roommate and his dad who owns a wrangler and has an RE lift himself.

Seriously though Id forget about the bumpers and get the suspension/tire combo you really want. Youll be more satisfied with the RE kit, or IRO with lower CAs and 32s. Or youll just get the sickness and end up doing long arms and 35s
LOL!!! I dont know how the heck i got that wrong....

Keep watching the CL in Yakima, and Seattle, there's always smoking deals on tires/wheels.

yeah. I wont de able to buy them probably until the end of the summer. BTW Lou, how do you like the Dynapro's? Les Schwab (a tire store I have an account at) sells thoses. I was thinking i could get those or the maxxis bighorns. Even though I love toyos, their most popular selling tire, they are just freaking EXPENSIVE!

Don't get Toyo's, I had them on my XJ, hated them. Dynapros are nice tires, especially for a daily driver. Les Schwab is a ripoff though, go thru discount tire if you can.

Yeah, but does discount tire warranty their tires like Les Schwab? Why do you say toyo's suck? I've got the toyo spectrum's currently, and just for an all season tire, they are amazing. You wouldn't believe how well they do in the snow on the road. And they last FOREVER. They still look brand new. The boyfriend has toyo open countries on his TJ, and same story. We wheel with friends on the snow mobile trails and he is completely stock and got just as good, if not better traction than the guys with 35" muds.

I will never buy tires from discount again. First of all I got ripped off after looking at the prices online. And second, when I bought my spare tire it took them 2 weeks to get it in when they said they would have it ready the same day or next day at the latest.

no tire is warranteed offroad, but Les Schwab probably has one of the best warranty policies of any tire company. They warranty pretty much anything that can happen on road. My roommates dad was driving behind a truck that took a corner too sharp and tools like rakes and such fell out and Ron ran them over in his TJ and popped all tires. Les Schwab replaced all 4 of his BFG KM's no questions asked.
