Default Installed 2.5" TF BB today

Installed my 2.5" TF BB today. It was pretty straight forward with the instructions I printed from this forum. It's way different from the CJ and YJ suspensions that I'm used to. Only problem that I ran into, was the bolt that holds that rear track-bar into the extended track-bar bracket did not match thread-per-thread to the nut. I tried to locate another bolt of that size at the hardware store, but had to settle for a 1/2" diameter bolt. But, with dealing with Teraflex in the past, I'm sure that I'll get a replacement bolt and nut. Anyway, the JK is happy and I'm even happier. What do ya'll think? Oh yeah, I'm better with a wrench than a computer.

Thanks guys. I'm looking to run 35"s when I get a chance. I'm sooooo undecided about the wheels. I already know that I'm going to change the wheels to 17"x9", because tires for 18" wheels (Sahara) are too limited and too high priced.

Wow, you must have read my mind. I've actually been looking for 5 good rubi wheels because I was thinking that also. I put spacers on with the sahara wheels so that's one less task. I'm just waiting for some rubi wheels that are for sale closer to where I am.
