so my fiance ordered my cobra 25 ltd and RE 2" BB for my christmas presents. i'm just a little excited. i expect i'll be installing the BB christmas day......the family can come out to the garage to visit. i'm probably going to get the antenna mount that mounts behind the taillight and a 4' firestik 2. i think i'll head to a truck stop to get the coax....i guess. i found the cb for $58, so i thought that was a good deal. the BB is $188 shipped to the door. she was going to get me the daystar 1" body lift, but i decided i'd pick that up in after the new year cause i wanted to have the cb incase i get to go on any wheeling trips in the near future. she's probably going to get me a hi-lift also....$45 at tractor supply co.

what do ya'll think about this......
i can get 4 32x11.50 BFG MT's driven on for less than a month and the black steel rims i want (the kind with the round holes instead of the triangles) with the correct size and BS for $500. first, is that a decent deal? second, should i do it because.....i will be adding a 1" body lift and can fit 33s, but i know i will rub when flexing. however, i am also putting together an additional lift (adjustable CAs and coils and the other goods) and probably use some 2 or 3" coils with the BB....i have to think budget here. and then actually install it when i get a sye and cv ds. sooooo...by then i know i will be able to fit a bigger tire making the 32s tinyish, but will have to wait til those wear out to get new, bigger rubber. so do i just hold off on the 32s and get 33s knowing they will rub with only 3" of lift and just deal with it, or do the 32s.

Skip the 32's and go with the 33's. You won't rub that bad, and you won't regret getting the 32's.

Where did you get the BB for $188?

[nozzleram]

I had to pay a little bit more for my RE BB. I got shipped to my house for $189.00. Swiss Mountain 4X4 beat the best price I could find.

The box should be waiting for me on the front porch tonight!

dc4wd beat the other "lowest price" i could find. i emailed him a couple of times and he responded to me by the time i looked over another message board.

what do ya'll think about my CB choice? i didn't see the need for anything to extravagent, just something to keep me up with everyone else on the trail, as i know that they are required on many trail rides. plus $58 was a good enough reason to get that one over a more expensive one.
