I just bought my first new jeep, had a 77 cj5 years ago and regrettably sold it because I beat it up off road beyond my wallet could repair. I got a 2012 unlimited sport, manual. i've been reading a bit here over the last couple months and now i'm looking for some opinions before i start spending money. I'm on a budget so i'm looking at the teraflex 2.5" with shock adapters. I want to fit 35" tires, and i want to keep my stock 17" wheels. from what i've been reading here, it looks like I will need wheel spacers (looking at 1.5" spidertrax) and a front adjustable trackbar. I'm also thinking about 1" front coil spacers to level it all out. I appreciate any opinions and help you guys have for me.
Pairing this kit with the Bilstein 5100 shocks get you one of the best riding JK setups on the road with MUCH improved off road capabilities.
We are offering FREE SHIPPING on this kit to the lower 48 states and have great international rates as well. State tax added to price for California residents only.
$740.00 OTD
I have been told the price will go up in January 2012, that is a sale day away!
After the sale the price will look some thing like this:
Teraflex JK 2.5" Lift Kit $451.99
Bilstein 5100 Shocks $84.99 ea. x 4 + $339.96
That is $791.95 - Plus shipping, depending on what part of the country the $ could add up.
PM, E-mail, or Call for more information, or to place an order.

What he said. The stock lights really suck. rallylights.com has a great harness. for a few bucks more the Hella lights with 80/100 Hella bulbs is awesome!

I recently helped a friend install a 2 inch AEV kit on his 2012 Sahara, and with minor trimming we fit in 35x12.5x17 on stock rubi rims with 1.5 spydertrac spacers. With 3.73 gears and auto it still has great power.

Well where to start. 
1. I work for a dealer and the Law says we can't void you unless we can prove the modified part caused the problem, and then we can only refuse to repair what was affected.
2. 2.5" lift kit is weak and too much money when you could get a Rusty's 3.25" for around $750 shipped and it comes with springs, shock, and adjustable track bars.
3. A must have is the stereo. Even in the 2012 it sucks. Go to the dealer and ask for some Boston Acoustic rear shelf speakers for a 2010 Challenger. Twice the sound, Ten times the Clarity and Bass, and only around $150.
4. Mirror relocation brackets, after all what good is a Jeep where you can't take off the doors.
5. You can get some steel wheels for around $500 for the full set(I am running Black Rocks $94 a rim). The are alot more durable than the factory wheels and then you won't need spacers, which the dealer will void your axle warranty over.
6.
Have Fun.Don't be afraid to get out there and get dirty, and remember if it makes you fell uncomfortable don't do it because that is how you brake your Rig.

WELL, SINCE YOU'VE BROUGHT IT UP, NOW I'M GOING TO BUG YOU! THE SPEAKERS YOUR TALKING ABOUT, FROM THE 2010 CHALLENGER. I'M ASSUMING THEY WOULD FIT IN THE 2011 2-DR? AND SINCE YOU'VE PROBABLY HAD A CHANCE TO HEAR BOTH, HOW DO THE BOSTON ACOUSTICS/PRICE COMPARE TO THE KICKER SPEAKER UPGRADES EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE USING? AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ARE THEY A DIRECT FIT, OR IS THERE SOME MODIFICATION NEEDED TO MAKE THESE BABIES FIT THE JEEP? YOU'VE TWEAKED MY INTEREST WITH THIS ONE. I'VE BEEN IN A FEW OF THE CHALLENGERS THROUGH WORK WITH THE BOSTONS IN THEM, AND THEY SOUNDED PRETTY FANTASTIC IN THERE, AND ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE SHITTY STOCK SOUND IN THE JEEP WOULD BE FANTASTIC.

Makes the Kickers sound terrible. Kicker is good for subs but Boston has clarity on lock down. I had to trim the rear speaker covers with a razor blade, took about 2min, to allow for the tabs to sit flush. MSRP on the speakers is $31.80 plus tax and the part number is 5081670AB. Just make sure your ready to take apart your dash, because it is not fun. It took me about 3hrs(slacker time included).

Well, I went with the 2.5 coil teraflex lift with shock adapters, 1" teraflex coil spacers to level out the front, 1.5" spidertrax wheel spacers, and a jks front adjustable track bar. Should get them Tuesday from quadratec. I'm glad to here I can go over 2.5" without automatically voiding the warranty cuz I didn't want to pull the coil spacers every time I went in.
Now I'm looking at the aev geometry correction front control arm brackets. Anyone install these on they're jk unlimited? Seems like a big benefit, but I wonder what its like in on and off road use.

OK, MAYBE I'M JUST NOT UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING THE SOUND BAR SPEAKERS. I GUESS YOU MEAN THESE ARE REPLACEMENTS FOR THE DASHBOARD TWEETERS?
