here is what I have so far.
2008 Jeep X 2dr auto
2.5" TF budget boost
1.25" RC BL
35'' Duratracs
Front sleeved and gusseted
ARBs front and rear
5.13s front and rear
Poison Spyder Hood louver
Rubicrawler
Suerchips trail dash
MBRP exhaust
K&N W/ Snorkel
I use te Jeep for Daily driving and im goin to get 37" Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs on regular D window black rims. I want to know what lit should I go for? I don't want to spend to much on it and im use to riding in military vehicles that will jar your innards loose so ride isn't a big concern. and Im thinking about bedlineing the whole thing inside and out myself and was wondering who makes the best DIY bedliner that wont fade (I use the duplicolor stuff on my K5 and it looked like crap after a year in the Texas sun). Also what other mods should I do? Im trying to keep it around $12-13k total and I have $8k into it already. and I want a lift I can install myself being I don have access to a welder and don't want to pay someone else to do it. I was thinking about 40s but in all reality 37s will take me ANYWHERE I need/want to go and the modifications I needed for 40s is more than what I want to spend.

Since you already have a BL, do something like Teraflex or RK 2.5"
The heavier springs will give you more than enough for 37's. trim the flares 40's.
The biggest contributor to ride comfort is the shocks IMO
The Rancho 9000's are on sale now and ride awesome with my RK coils.
Should be able to hook yourself up for around a grand.
2 door w/ RK 2.5's and 35's.

I would go with the smallest lift you can if keeping the body lift. You could also cut the fenders for more clearance. If you go any higher, plan on a new front driveshaft, and possibly rear depending how high you go.

i forgot about those. I have a hidden winch in my front bumper, 2x 8" procomp 130w lights, and I turned m fenders into flat fenders. lol I can clear 37s right now but I want a good lift kit and actually been thinking about footing the $4,600+ for the 4" TF longarm lift installed (no longer have the facilities to weld it up myself so Northridge 4x4 is doin the work proably) with bilstien shocks..... is it worth it?
