Default Lift and Tires/wheels installed on my JK

I have finally gotten the lift and wheel tire combo installed on my JK 4 door. I installed the Full Traction 3" economy lift. installation was not too hard, about 8 hours and 4 gallons of beer. I installed the front and rear adjustable track bars so I wouldn't have to install the brackets from the kits. I used a Full traction front and Teraflex rear. I had 17x9 American Racing wheels with Mickey Thompson 35x12.5x17 BAja Claw Radials.
The ride I have is superior to the factory ride, some tire noise but not too bad. I have some pics I took when it was on the hoist getting the tires installed if someone can help me to post them.

What have you done about the lost power?
Mine won't stay in overdrive at highway speeds.

Thanks,
Jacob

More details about the American racing wheels. What's the style, and backspacing?

Sorry, American Eagle Wheels, series 185. Not sure on the backspacing. I didn't need wheel spacers. I don't have any problems at highway speeds, I have 4.10 rear gears (stock) and manual 6 speed.

Are you running the M-Force shocks and how do you like them on the road? Smoother than stock? Stiffer?

Yes, I have the M Force shocks and am really happy with the ride. The ride is smoother than stock and a little softer. I am going to try and upload a couple of pics now.
