Thats part of the 12k budget. I might start out with their bolt on long Arm kit and build from there. The 12k budget is- 38" inch grapplers with ?? wheels, gussets and sleeves, 5:38 gears, rock sliders, ARB front and exp One bumpers, Banks exhaust, Banks intake, superchips.

when they say its a jeep thing you wouldnt understand, i now understand. I finally finsihed my corvette build after 1.5 years and over 35k and drove it for a week. I dropped the car off this weekend at the shop to have it parted out. Its crazy but i would much rather be in the jeep!!!!!!!!!! Driving 890lbs ft of torque at 2800 rpm is unbelievable but theres just something about the jeep. I sold my 2010 rubicon yesterday, and have a 2011 loaded rubicon coming in on the 25th.
I was set on the aev 4.5" premium as soon as i got done with the vette. Now that i will have some extra dough, i am looking at the front double throw down coil overs but will probably wait to do the rear. I would like to to moab and get involved in the jeep lifestyle, but my immediate goal is superior on road ride quality. The build will center around 38x15.5" nitto mud grapplers. My question is, whats involved with parts an cost with the hybrid system i've seen some post on? I will eventually do the rear, but have a lot more i want to do before that. I am thinking the front throwdown and then the plush coils with king 2.5's for the rear. I dont know if this will clear 38's though. I thought i would ask here before i called ore. I still cant figure out the jk suspension, ecspecially with evo links? I am trying to figure out what i would need to do it right minues the rear coil overs. I cant belive how much i already miss my rubicon after 1 day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you have to have the money to build the jeep! They've already went in and taken 94k out of my accounts. I am parting out the parts on the corvette and using some of that money for the build. Trying to keep some stashed on the side as well!
