Two quick questions for you, I noticed you have the Teraflex HD tire carrier. I recently added this to my jeep and I get a rattle noidse out of it, I can not figure out where it is coming from. Just wondering if you have had any rattles with yours?
Also when you were running the stock bumper with the bigger tires did you rub on the bumper?

As for the rub, I only rubbed on the factory air dam when at full turn. As such, I removed it. I never made contact with the stock number though when I added the 35s, just the air dam.

I was laughing reading this thread. I really like your rig. In fact, I pretty much own it. Last year I did the Teraflex 2.5 inch coils lift with Teraflex front lower control arms and bilstein 5100's. Also got the 35 inch Toyo's just before winter. Also did the Teraflex hinged adjustable mount with the tires. We must be reading the same threads or hitting the same sales!! Ha. Did you change out your gears yet? I went with the Yukon 4.88 just after the tires.
Nice looking rig overall. Love the black and silver

No gear change yet. I have 3.73s on the 11 motor. It's doable but not optimal. How drastic is the gear change once you made it in terms of performance? I'm still thinking I'd like to go up to 37s and 3.5 inch lift some day. I find myself wanting just a little more height. I know a great deal comes along with that though. Debating heavily going to a rock krawler 3.5 down the road. Not sure though.
Thanks for the kind words.

I went from 3.73 to 4.88 on my 2010. Saw a 2 mpg improvement until I started adding more weight. Performance-wise I can't tell b/c I've only done hwy driving (DD), but I'm headed to Moab mid-april. When my wife and I went last year, the only mods were diff covers and programmer. Excited to see what the lift/tires will do!! I'm happy with my 2.5 lift and 35's. Wife doesn't want to 'jump' any higher right now. Hoping she'll change her mind after Moab.
