I have run alot of different tires and I like these the most by far.

My last rig had 42" iroks and these hook up better.

How do feel it is on power? Do the 5.38's pull well enough or do you still need more? I had an 07 with 5:13's and 35's, but my 11 seems more mild than the 07 did even stock.

I like where it's at seems better than stock. My wife has 4:88's with 35's and it's about the same as mine.

Gorgeous JK! I love the write ups, and I will continue to follow.

I am in the process of building my '12 JKU and am a newb when it comes to a lot of this stuff. Walle's Build

What did you notice after the installation of the EVO Rock Star Skids? Pros/cons? I decided to go with the Currie 4" lift with the Teraflex Fox shocks (awaiting install). I have been reading that relocating the rear shock mount is a good idea, but I wanted to ask someone that did it with a 4" lift.

it doesnt drive any differant but it moves the shocks up and over which gives you more travel and keeps the shock out of the rocks.

if you ordered the 4" fox shocks from teraflex i would highly recomend calling and exchanging them for the 6" shocks. the 4" only have 3" of down travel i have been using the 6" shocks on the 4" kits for about a year now and all my customers love them.

just an fyi

I bought the 6" shocks. The guys at Terflex recommended those for a 4" lift. They arrived yesterday!

I missed that when I was reading about the lift. I have already ordered the EVO Rock Star Skids. Should I send them back? How does the Currie relocation kit for the bottoms of the rear shocks work?
