Very nice! What is your lift and tire size?
Evo 2.5, Clayton control arms and fox 3-4” shocks, falken 35x12.5 mt

gained 4” up front and 3” in the back with the lift....I like how it rides better with the lift, steering feels a bit top heavy but I’m at 5* caster, hoping to take it to 6 this weekend see if I get an improvement. Also my drag link and tie rod ends are sloppy at 14,000 miles

Wow, that is more than I am putting on, for now anyway. I just picked up my 2" Mopar lift, Teraflex front adjustable track bar and Teraflex leveling kit to remove some rack. If I need to replace other components after that I will as needed I guess. Putting 35" Nitto Recons on some AEV wheels.

i really like the aev saverge wheels, I don’t care for the poke I have on my Dirty Harry wheels...all the mopar lifts I’ve seen are more than the advertised 2” of actual lift, a local guy has the mopar lift on their JL I almost went with the mopar myself

we got the same taste, the Dirty Harry’s are my second favorite wheel. The AEV saverge are my favorite wheel if I only consider looks. The only reason I don’t have them on my truck right now is they are heavy, really heavy. I’m trying to save weight, especially unsprung rotating mass.

I think I’m going to try these. Although not my favorite, I still like the way they look and they are under 23 lbs. Plus I haven’t seen them on a Jeep yet. I think the saverge are like 36 lbs if I recall.

I threw that out the window when I got the wildpeak MT’s these things are heavy. If I’m not mistaken I think the 35” falken are double what the factory set was at each wheel ( or damn near it) and they are heavier than a set of 37” Patagonia’s

We brought her home at night so this is the next day. Still stock but I have added the roll-up tonneau cover, a hood lock, and front grab handles (been waiting for better weather to pop the top and install the rear handles).
