Default Busy week! Teraflex 2.5" lift w/ Black Rocks 15"

I'm soooo pumped! Can't believe how my jeep has transformed in the last week. Finally!!!
Added TF coil lift with OME LT shocks / Black Rock 909D in 15" with 35" KM2's.
I also added the AEV drop brackets for the control arms per Dave at North Ridge and it made a HUGE difference in handling! Seems to absorb the high speed bumps much better too.
I'm getting alignment done on wed and I should be all set!
What do you guys think?

Sweet set up. The rims are great. They are kind of unique. I haven't seen many of the black rocks out there.

Took me about 4 hours by myself. It would have much faster with someone, plus I had to keep running back forth to my dad's to grab tools that I didn't have
I was very, very sore the next day

I searched all the forums and could not find anyone running 15" alloy 909D rims. I'm very happy with them.
It's a great alternative to all the 15" steel rims on the market

Yeah, I was in pain myself after mine. It was a BB tho. I had the hardest time getting my damn shocks off. It took me 2 hours and a can of PB Blaster to get my front left one off. I bought my JK used and the damn thing was rusted stuck. By the time I got it off, I hardly had any energy for the rest. Take out the shock fiasco and I ran about 5 hours by myself. Great looking rig. It's awesome to see guys do this stuff themselves. I learned a lot about my JK!!!

Turned out great! Not bad the time it took considering all of what you had to do alone. The Black Rocks are nice and look great on your JK. I think once the alignment is done, it will drive even tighter and you'll hardly notice a difference! Great job.

thanks guys! appreciate all the compliments!

No rubbing on the 15's. I was a little nervous before the guys at discount tire mounted them on my jeep but they went right on with no contact.

I know if i searched a lil more, i would prob the answer to my question, but would the 15 in black rock steelies that are identical to the soft 8's by cragar rub???? Cuz I have a set of 33's for 15 in rims that were on my old XJ and i would like to run em in the winter, figured it would be cheaper to buy just new rims.
