Yeah I'm a fan as well. Don't care to much for after market wheels, these are simple and look good IMO on the Jeep. I can put the money I would spend on wheels to another useReally like the black steelies. I am on the prowl for a set, they seam to be unicorns.

See, I’m the opposite... I like very few factory wheels. So I almost always go with tires & wheels as one of my first mods.Yeah I'm a fan as well.

I used to put aftermarket wheels on everything but there's something about the Black Steelies I really like. Nothing wrong with aftermarket wheels though, I had them on my JKU.See, I’m the opposite... I like very few factory wheels. So I almost always go with tires & wheels as one of my first mods.
Yeah, the black 20’s with mud tires has been sort of my trademark look for over 15 years.I used to put aftermarket wheels on everything but there's something about the Black Steelies I really like. Nothing wrong with aftermarket wheels though, I had them on my JKU.
Question for you @Jeeperjamie regarding the ReadyLift if you don't mind...I did a 2.5" SST ReadyLift. Gave me 2.5" in front and 2" in the rear.
It's still has a slight rake, not noticable by the eye, it looks pretty level but you still got some rake. I didn't want t eliminate the rake totally either for the same reason.Question for you @Jeeperjamie regarding the ReadyLift if you don't mind...
Does the back still sit somewhat higher than the front with it being 2.5" in front, and 2" in the rear?
I'll be doing a bunch of towing soon, and don't want to totally get rid of the factory rake. Was thinking that since the back is only 0.5" less than the front that it wouldn't make too much of a difference and that there'd still be some rake.
thanks so much!!
Awesome, appreciate the feedback @Jeeperjamie!It's still has a slight rake, not noticable by the eye, it looks pretty level but you still got some rake. I didn't want t eliminate the rake totally either for the same reason.

2.5" ReadyLift SST spacer kit and yes sir I'm 100% satisfied. Jeep rides better than it did stock, even better after I added the Front Rubicon spring take off and Rubicon Fox shocks. The wheel spacers are Rugged Ridge and I'm happy with them as well. They are solid.What spacer brand did you go with and are you happy with them?
