x2 on pics. I'm not opposed to putting shoch extenders in, but its just one more thing to bend/break when out. Plus it will happen when it winter out as its my luck. I'm trying to keep it simple so when i do wreak something i can go and getr parts and not wait for it to show up as its my dd as well.

I have the TF leveling kit on my 2dr JK. It was cheap, took two hours to install, and thus far as worked perfectly on and off road.
I have better photos if you want them, but this one was handy.

I don't have any before pics of my wife's JK but If you go to the teraflex web site you will see a before and after pic of one of their JKs. Just type in JK leveling kit in their search. I installed GY Duratracs on 16X8 soft 8 black wheels.

Oh how I remember December 2006 when I told myself I'd only lift my JK a couple inches and be done with it. I look at budget boosts as a waste of money. The first time you go wheelin after the newness of your 09 wears out you'll want more and more and more.

Nice jeeps Stucka. I like the stance or your JK. I will be ordering the leveling kit tomorrow. I've been told that I will just end up getting a bigger lift, but I doubt it. I will run stock tires at least until I wear the originals out. The leveling lift looks perfect to me on stock 32" tires, and if I decide to go bigger in a couple of years when they wear out, it only cost me $129.
I will be calling David at North Ridge 4X4 in the morning.

I'll be putting on my Daystar front and rear 1.75" spacers ($40 from someone here on the forum) in the next week or so and after that I'll be adding a 1" body lift. I have no rake to deal with. This will get me into the 33-35" range which is fine for the most of the trails here in Colorado. Good enough for me for a while. I'm sure I'll go bigger in the future though.

I know I'll want it bigger but I'll wait till after the warrinity is over befor i go crazy. too many horror stories on here. Love the way your jeep looks. I go wheeling but not too crazy (only 2 months old) as it is my dd in the summer its ok if its broke but not the winter.I look at it as it was made to do this so lets do this. So whats beeing said is I can go with a leveling kit and not to much else, I guess that will have to do till its no longer having to go in for work then the fun begins so how big are leving kits the up to 2"or less thanks for all the help now i need to start looking
