Thank you. I have my dad to thank for that. Even to this day he continues to say there many different ways to do something, pick the right way even if its harder. Well that makes sense about ride height. All the different weight of things can definitely effect it. But the things you mentioned of being taken care of will be done sooner than later.

 

I would encourage you to take your time to make a decision, but if you are really impulsive, Metalcloak is having a free shipping sale that ends at midnight pacific time I think. They don't run sales very often.....sometimes it's 10% off and sometimes it's free shipping. You don't need a code, it should just adjust at checkout.....or at least that's what today's email said.

 

This is my 2008 4door, 3.5" MetalCloak coils and 37" STT Pro's w/steel stubby and 9500lb winch, (before I got around to chopping that set of flares). Running various coils over the years I haven't kept up on actual gained height from stock, but these are closer to 5" than to 4...




Something worth mentioning is that MC doesn't do a bunch of sales like other mfg's, so get on their email list and watch for the one-day free shipping deals, usually on holidays. (there is one today!!) They also did a military discount for me, if that applies to you.

 

This is no joke. I did more than my share of this. My learning curve was pretty dang steep figuring it all out. That's mainly why I just try to help others avoid some of the speedbumps.....or at least realize what's coming up in front of them.

Looking back that one even made me wonder wtf was I saying.....LOL

@Bora Bora I'm new to the JK world. My JKU is and will always be a mall crawler.
Take a minute and look at my new member post. I went thru all that stuff with a TJ that
turned into a pretty decent rock crawler. In one of his post he mention truss and all that
stuff. My reply is and still is if he goes that route to go ahead and gear to 5.13. No I can't
speak from experience going thru all that with a JK. I damn sure can on a TJ period! Half
of our members have JK's and watching there builds and wheeling with them for many a
years leads to some of my comments and assumptions. Almost every single person with
a JK in our area and off road club that starts wheeling with us goes to at least 5.13. That
is a fact that you can't debate. I will try to learn from your experience and hopefully have a
better understanding of the JK world. Thanks

 

 

For OP's pleasure.....one of my favorite graphics.

 

This is great. Accurate.

 

Yes! I have resharp to thank for all his mis-haps, where I followed his lead and then learned from him of what not to do.

 

If I were doing 37in tires with a lift, the MC 3.5in Game changer with replacement control arms is what I would do. It's pricey, but for the 8-9 years I've been on these forums I don't think I've ever read where anyone has had a problem or complaint or regretted going with a MC game changer lift.

I avoided the MC lift because I decided it was a wiser choice for me to not move up to 37's where if you stay with 35's instead, then you avoid the next jump of price threshold of pain and needed mods.

Here is the holy grail in regards to gear selection guide for the 3.6L
