This was before I mounted my 35" tires. Now my JK rides a lot higher than stock.

rims
well our jeep came with factory 18'' rims and i jsut figured i would stay that size, the ann. edition rims are 18''. Also read about the
3'' black diamond lift, does anyone have any experience with this lift or ideas? Now the OLD MAN EMU lift, does the superb ride i read about come from the coils and shocks working hand in hand or would it be ok to run OME coils with say B5100's?

rims
my buddy owns a tire shop and i buy rims and tires at his costs and it looks like i can get 5 35'' nitto's and 5 xd spys for right about $2500 its really like $2473 or something like that, I also thought about just putting the 35's on my current 18's like that for now and taking the money from the rims and put that into the lift for upgrades and buy the rims later since i'm going to stay with 18's.

re gear
yeah i thought about too, i guess ill jsut go ahead and do the lift and tires now and see how it works out and then do gears afterwards. When i ran 35's on my 99 it slowed it down a little bit but i from 33's to 35's i couldnt tell a difference. Also i plan on doing the cat back exhaust air intake and possibly a programer, programmer mainly for tire calibration.

I will say I had the ProCom 21/2 on my.2011 jk and love it. I had 35 on it and it sucked. I lost 11 miles on the speedo and 4 mpg too. I had the AEV procal and.that helped fixing the speedo and tire size. But I went back down to my 285 and was much happier. I have a 2012 now and.thinking about.staying with the ProComp lift. I liked it alot but thinking about 35 now bc I have more power to move the tires. The 11 is really under powered trust me. You will lose overdrive and alot of mpg. I know bc I did it.
