I like the way it looks. It looks like you are running the stock front bump stops without extension, correct?
If so, any concerns about the shocks being over compressed, or rubbing in the front?

Is it just me, or do those Good Years look narrower than the BFG KM2’s? I know the specs on them appear the same; but they look narrower to me for some reason… Has anyone seen them side by side yet?

definitely the plan is to upgrade the axles with chromo shafts, regear to 5.13's and add ARB's front and rear. as you know, i also found a rubi t-case for cheap and will be adding that on soon too.

Great setup. 
I'm a big fan of the clean-cut, lift and tires on stock 17" wheels. With a rear bumper (which I know you're doing next), that's exactly how I'd do mine. Is that the OME JK Package Deal setup from Northridge? Minus wheels and tires, looks to be about $2K if I figure it right on their site. From your experience, what's the typical install labor cost on all of that?

From your experience, what's the typical install labor cost on all of that?regarding your question, yes, pretty much everything new you see on this jk we got from northridge4x4 - this is their OME LT package. being that i do all my own install (and i would encourage you to do the same), i don't know how much it would cost to have done but, with the right tools, you can easily get this lift and all the other components installed in about 4-6 hours. and, with the money you save doing it yourself, i would imagine you can easily afford to get the right tools and have change left over.
(i know i know... you got other plans 
so far so good, the mt/r's ride nicely and i'm eager to test them out on the trail

these are the 17" sahara wheels which are essentially the rubicon moab's without the machined finish. the 18" wheels are designed a little differently.
yep, that would be the plan
yup, what he said
well, when you do, be sure to post up some pics for us to see

eventually but for now, the plan is to it stockish looking.
good eye, i didn't have any front bumpstops at the time of the lift so i just decided to finish things up until i could get a set. i have them now and will be sure to install them prior to taking this jk out on the trail. without them, i would be very concerned about rubbing and over compressing the coils.
they may look narrower but only because they are much taller than the km2's. trust me, i have seen them side by side and they are taller.
the winch is new from mile maker and is all solid state. the control is cool too as it has variable speeds to it.

Don't blame you fror wanting to leave it kinda stock. She is really petty. Thanks for the replies.
