All the above are great ideas. Remember to factor in labor charges if you are unable to do the work yourself. Also, there are plenty of Jeep clubs with friendly people. you may be able to persuade a few to help with a bride of pizza and beer. The craft shops on the bases have a ton of tools and personnel to help you if all else fails. JEEP ON

Welcome to the forum. The best advice I can give is take your time and research everything. You have come to the right place for information and ideas. We also have some great sponsoring vendors that offer great prices and service and a forum member discount. Good luck!

I am no jeep expert but I think some of the guys have some great advise. Keep the stock wheels and plastidip them, use spacers and run 35's. Then spend the bulk of your money on a good lift and shocks with adjustable arms. I didn't get arms and have been kicking myself since I installed. Then you should be able to do most of the other stuff you want. I just did a lift and 4 tires and wheels (another mistake looks so stupid with the tiny spare) for $2800 with a flash cal installed it myself. What part of Texas are you in?

I have the same lift with Fox shocks and really am happy with it, since I don't have any extra mods it stands very tall with the 35's. Makes a great setup in my opinion. Everyone love the stance of my Jeep.
