Hope I wave...

Will do lol, i work in lindenhurst so im constantly in the area, im in a black, bone stock (for now) jku,

Two questions if u dont mind. Your rims are gorgeous, where did u get them and what type are they, how is the backspacing with the 33s, also how do the 33" duratracs handle the sand out here, i wanna get a more aggressive tire but im afraid a mud terrain will dig into the sand too much

MikekiM

I'll keep my eyes open for you... I try to wave to every Jeep regardless of model or mods, so keep an eye out for me.

Thanks on the wheels. They are BlackRock 909s in 15x10 with a 4" BS. The BS pulls them out a little further than the typical 5" or 5.5" and the extra 2" of width adds to that as well.

I bought two from Jegs, two from DTD and one from another vendor. The black and Tungsten were impossible to find in 15's but I was persistent. Last time I was out at OK4WD in NJ they had a set..

I had a black 2008 Sahara JK before this and when I saw this wheel/tire combo on a Mango I ditched the Sahara and grabbed the first Mango I could find. It wasn't on the 2012 color option list so it was a bitch to find.

GY DT's are 33x12.5. Stretched onto the 10" wheel makes them old-school round look. Exactly what I wanted. Zero rubbing. I've run them at stock height and at the current height which is about 2.5" ( 0.75" of TF spacers from the leveling kit, plus OE JKU Rubi shocks and springs which got me another 1.75" of lift while staying factory correct and warranty friendly)

I air-down to about 15 psi and the fat contact patch helps float over the sand rather than dig in. All-in-all the DT's have been excellent no matter what I throw at them.. snow, rain, sand, dirt, dry pavement.. Much quieter than an MT as well.

Thanks for the info. i definitely wanna get a set of GY DT as my next tire, hearing your opinion sealed the deal. ive been looking for a nice set of black rims to go on my black JK and i think those 909s are just the look i want. if i see ya ill shoot ya a wave : )

MikekiM

Same wheel, all black.. much easier to find.

Theory is about to turn into reality. the dealer just called and my rig should be in in a day or two. My financing is secured, lift just arrived today. Get this, I picked up the Rancho 4in SPort for $599, $650 with tax and free shipping. I just looked through the box al the parts are there. Im amazed!

MikekiM

Dealer going to install the lift for you?

powrsurg

THat still has to be worked out. They said if they install the lift thatthey will warraty it. I told them I already had the lift parts and would only be interested in the install. We will see what happens. If they offer a good price I might just bite. I doubt they will offer a good price. Evan can do it for 6-800 and I can probably sell the rubicon stock wheels and tires for 500. I doubt the dealership can do that.
