First real mod
Well I finished my first real mod early this morning. I picked up some used rubicon shocks with less than 1k miles for $45. I absolutely love the ride I have now, much more responsive than the stock sport shocks. Best $45 I ever spent. Also this morning I had to test em out, so I ran rattlesnake for the first time with dremex showing me the ropes. I had my first off roading casualty...
No sticks or rocks around, just must have found a weak spot in the sidewall. All in all I had a blast!

Look at zone 3" lifts.
Flat fender mod.
Keep an eye out for used 35s.
That's what I did. Did suspension and used tires with 80% thread left for $1,200. Just have to keep an eye out for those deals. The zone is a deal itself. No problems and now my jeep is pretty much unstoppable. Since I wenT MT Claws ive not once used my lockers. Aired down to 12-14 range. Mud. Rocks. Sand hills. You name it.

Ome is nothing but good feedback. I was considering that too. Checkout the morthirdhe4x4 emu deals/sets.
Zone came with gas shocks (option), rear links (rear stock go to front), springs, rear track bar bracket for realignment. I think that's it. Going off he top of my head.
Zone sells other items if you want additional adjustment.
