Detailed the daylights out of it, Jeeps and Java, Quadratec, West Chester, Pa. tomorrow. Came in and did another web check and like everything else, CANCELED!

2 inch Mopar Performance lift, Springs, Fox 2.0 shocks, control arms. Got almost 3 inches. Still settling.

35x12.50-17 BFG ATs, KO2. Mopar Performance Gladiator wheels, 8.5 wide. Almost look like factory wheels.

Still rides like a Cadillac. Might need a small step on the passenger side but otherwise I love it. Took 2 days to lift compared to the 1 day to do a 2005.

4.10s now running like 3.64s and still works awesome w the 8 speed Auto.

Looks great, are the tires still covered by the fenders? any more pictures from the front or rear showing the width?

ETA : not sure if you were asking the OP or me, so there you go. I wanted the ground clearance, but I didn't want the width, due mostly to departure angle, and rolling resistance/weight

Those Kendras looks like nice tires, didn't know that size was available, did they take much weight to balance?

No, they were all very uniform, red dot mounted at the valve, wheel and tire lubricated I think the most weight on any of them was 3.5oz which is minimal on a 98.6lb assembly

Kenda is the only manufacturer I am aware of that makes that size. They satisfied my very specific concerns.

Thanks for the info, I was planning on going with 18s so I could run 285/75/18s but this tire would allow me to stay with 17s and stock wheels. I have run 12.5/315 wide tires on my JKs and did not like they way they track on highways with grooves or handle in the snow, IMO 10.5/285 is the perfect width for the JK/JL/JT

That is exactly what I was going to do for wheels then found those wheels for $1k shipped for 5.

One thing people overlook on these is the spare hanging under it. Add a 2" lift, then give an inch of it back by hanging a 12.50 under it.

I ordered a Tazer yesterday so no I have not yet. I can put a tape on them if you want me to though
Just curious...Most "35's" measure out to be in 34" range when on the truck. I like the tall skinny look.
