Default Mods...Do this or that?

Hey All,

Last week I completed my 2nd mod (antennax stubby being the first). I through some duratracs 275/70/18s on my jk. and let me say that they are worth every penny! The ride has improved 10 fold. Now for the next mods.

I need some advice... I am getting a teraflex 2.5bb and want to know if you guys think that i should go with the shocks or just shock adapters? Also I have a pin hole in my muffler so i am going to be replacing that as well. I was going to get the gibson dual exhaust but then came across the dynomax, it seems identical and is much less, any ideas. Last but not least i also plan on adding an cai. From all the reading on here it seems that the airaid is the best.

Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I would suggest new shocks if the $ isn't an issue. Most seem to favor those over extensions.

As for your tires, it appears as though you don't have any spacers. Any rubbing issues?

That's what figured and since they are at discount when bought as a package I might as well. I haven't had any issues with rubbing except for when at full lock...spacers are also on the list. I like the way it looks with them on, wider stance.

Running the TF BB with the TF shocks. It is an excellent lift! Cant say enough about it.....the only this is that I wish I had done the whole coil lift. So if money isnt an issue i would just go directly to the TF full coil lift.

i run the K&N CAI, I like it a lot, it does whistle a little, but it doesnt bother me. i have heard good things about Airraid as well

Update: Tuesday Night I ordered the Gibson Split Back exhaust along with the airaid intake and the TF 2.5 BB with shocks. I take some pictures and update when installed this weekend!

Cant wait to get under this jeep. Ive had it for close to 6 months now and havent been under it yet except oil change...Im used my yj that i would have to crawl under every day to figure something out lol.

Hey preyes are you running the BB with wheel spacers?

I plan on ordering them but wanted to see if i can do the lift install this weekend without the spacers.
