wheel tire is stock wheel with spidertrax 1.5 spacer. tires i went with the 285/70/17 Falken WildPeak AT3w. they are surprisingly quiet on the highway

a few photos for reference, one next to stock TJ sport, one next to a stock F150 Raptor, which it sits just about as high as with a touch more ground clearance at rocker, and one without anything next to it.

Default Sweet!

Looks awesome man, it actually looks a little taller than i expected but def sweet. Plan on doing the same, just with BFG 285/70R17 K02's and Method race wheels. Then adding the cloak overlines and 37s at a later date

Default 37s

With 37s you may need to sit a bit taller. I could see 34/35s fitting well 37s may need more mods.You might be able to build a similar kit with them with the 3.5" 2 dr springs on a JkU to add a touch more space so there not so stuffed.

I've put about 4k miles on it and am loving it. I paired the coils with the fox 2.0 resi shocks and the thing handles great and I get tons of compliments on how it rides . Ride quality on New England dirt roads is great and the limited off-roading I've done it performed with flying colors.
I still have some tweaking of bump stops to do to get some more up travel. It ships with 2" of bump stop but not using the stock shocks I can get a touch more up travel with just 1".
I think sometime next year I will probably upgrade it to 2.5" springs after I add some accessories just to help with when its really loaded down

Do you have any current pics of it? Trying to decide on the 1.5" or just save up and buy the 2.5" and build from there.

Are you going with the 2dr 3.5" springs rather then the 4dr 2.5" springs?

If my memory serves me right, these are the 2dr 2.5 springs. Next step would probably be 2dr 3.5 springs. Your best bet would be to call them to figure out what's what. They are pretty great do deal with and can get you sorted out.
