I live in a pretty small area. That might have something to do with it. Supply and demand. I see Rubicon take off wheels and tires selling for $2k and Rubicon suspensions selling for $500 around here.
I would have held strong on the original price and tried selling local too. I don't live near any big metropolitan areas and I got $700 for my stock Willys KM2s with 1600 miles. They sold within a day of listing them.
I drove by my local Toyota dealer a few days ago and they are even more empty. Like three new cars and less than 10 used. I don't think they are going to be able to stay in business at this rate. Chevy dealer is looking more barren. And the shortage is finally catching up to the Ford dealer. Two...
I personally think some of the OEM wheels look the best. I also like wagon wheels.
Check out Quadratec. They have a great selection of replica wheels.

If I didn't love my stock Willys wheels I'd go for these in a second.
Since I won't be using it frequently I ended up picking up a Black Jack 3 ton from Walmart. Apparently made by Torin because their name is on the safety label. Not really impressed. It lifts Ok. But the release is really tight and it is hard to get a slow drop.
I went with the 1" over the full 1.5" to keep a little rake. Hopefully when loaded up that with the max tow rear springs will keep it from squatting as much.
So what would be the need for changing the LCAs and sway bar links?? I don't do any serious off-roading. Just the beach and light trails.
I'm averaging 19-20 around town. Much better than I was expecting with all of the doom and gloom stories of bad mileage. Haven't had a chance to take a long highway trip yet.
Just got done installing the Teraflex 1" spacers to get rid of some of the rake. I'm happy with the results and I am done with the suspension.

What's the max lift height of the jack stands that come with it??? They only give the specs for the jack from what I can see. I have a set of 6 ton jack stands on the way. But I can always return them.
I've been searching around for a decent 3 ton floor jack. Seems everywhere I check the many reviews are pretty bad. Leaking out of the box, hard to drop, doesn't last. etc..... Seems the quality of floor jacks is not what it used to be. I've checked Harbor Freight, Lowes, Home Depot, Amazon...
Give us a twin turbo V-6 similar to the Ford 2.7 Ecoboost and I'll be first in line. Plenty of hp and torque for off-roading and towing. And decent gas mileage.
