BDS 3" lift w/ American Racing Teflon Thug's...
I had a tough time finding pics and info on the lift and wheels/tires i wanted so i thought i'd post up my rig now that its substantially complete in the driveline department.
BDS 3" coil system with their adjustable track bar
American Racing wheels Teflon 'Thug', 17x8.5, 4.75" bs
35x12.5 Kumho KL71 Mud Terrain
drives pretty good now.. the tires arent very loud, and the stock 4:10 gearing isnt horrible.. we'll see how it does offroad before i decide on gearing upgrades.
Also, while i was waiting for the dealer to install the wheels and tires (they gave me the most rediculous deal on rubber) i drove a brand new Rubi with a Magnaflow cat back exhaust, Jet Performance Chip, and Air Raid cold air intake that they were touting would give me +40hp..
the exhaust/intake sounded pretty nice, but overall i didnt feel anything on my seat of the pants dyno...

Bunker, thanks for the photo help.. not sure why they ended up as clickers.
Spillidge - I'm actually in Victoria, the dealer is Wille Dodge Chrysler...
I started her up this morning and got a tire pressure warning light.. though all tires are at the appropriate pressure, my tire guy is not going to like that very much!

Lookin every where
I have been looking every where on the fourm and the rest of the net to see a JK with these rims. I have ordered the AR thugs also but in 18'' did you have any fit issues or have to change your bolt pattern? Thanks the wheel and tire combo looks great man
