I just got into this club a week and a half ago...undergoing a lot of work right now to make it trail ready since I only regeared (and locked) the rear (I have a beefed D30 with matching gears in my basement, just need to get time to do the whole swap).
That's with trimmed fender flares and hammered rear pinch seams - only 2" of lift. I have OME HD springs and LT shocks sitting in my basement...so I should get another 1.5" or so in lift. Along with the swap up front and the coils/shocks I have lower front control arms to put in, JKS HD rear trackbar, some painting to do and some armor to put on (PSC rocker armor and Rubi rails). I will also be doing Rock Krawler rear uppers/lowers and coil wedges to move the rear axle back an inch. And then finally I will be getting the Rock Krawler pro alum. tie rod and doing something about the draglink, too. Getting ready for fall/winter wheelin'!
Pretty wide with 10" rims and 3 3/4" backspacing!

Anyway, I was also running OEM tail lights with the corners, and when I switched to the LEDs I had to have the cut-out missing panels (for the OEM housings to fit) welded back in, just to able to cut the new holes for the LEDs. So at the same time I wanted to get away from the Herculiner...I stripped the 2 corners, and most of the tailgate. The tailgate still needs to be stripped some, but it's almost there...it was VERY hard since I put the Herculiner right on the paint...what a bond it makes! But I went over to a smoother, spray on bedliner that Duplicolor is making called 'bed armor', and I really like how it comes out. The passenger side corner is done (although I have to touch 2 edges up). The driver's side corner is primed (brown), and the tailgate, like I said, still has to get the last bit of Herculiner stripped off of it...then prime and new bedliner. I just need 2 or 3 days to be able to not use my Jeep and finish it all up and let everything dry good...haven't gotten a chance yet since I use my Jeep as a work truck. Soon though...I am going to do it when I do my front end swap/new lift (coils and shocks), front lower control arms, and rear JKS trackbar. Everything at once...I have all the parts, just short on time.
Glad you like it though!

I got my LEDs from Poison Spyder, and when I got them I noticed the LED lenses have "Truck-Lite" on them...they make a whole array of industrial truck lights...blinkers, markers, tail lights, emergency, reverse lights, spot lights...LED and incandescent, the whole 9 yards. So with that in mind, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that what I understand, is true...50 state legal.

Have had them about a week now and they ride exactly the same as the 35's that I had (same tire) which is what I was hoping for with them. Nice and quiet on the road and perform awesome off.
