Default My 2011 Mod Plans - Your input please

with the Mango Sahara on order, I got my mods list in the works.
I want to do wheels and tires and a small lift right away. Here is what I have in mind. Your input is greatly appreciated as i am still a newb to jeeps
  • - 17 inch wheels (hub centric with proper backspacing)
  • - 295/75/17 Toyo Open Country M/T tires - any other aggressive tires in this size I should be considering? Lot's of snow here
  • - Leveling Kit - Is the springs the best one? TeraFlex JK 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit
  • - Rugged Ridge light bar - who sells smaller lights for it?

My inspiration for the wheels (love the orange rings) and light bar

Inspiration for tires

What about the following; I have a green Sahara unlimited (4dr) with the following
- 305x70xR16 Yokohama tires (Geolander) on Procom black alloy wheels (4.5" back spacing) works without lift
- AEV heat reduction hood + Ram snorkel
- ARB fr/rr bumpers (Airbag compatible)
- Warn Rc9.0i rock climbing winch
- Jet stage 2 chip
- Black mesh grill
- Borla catback with dual tip
- Hi-intensity lights (white)
- ARB onboard air
- Delta light bar (3 lights on bonnet)
- Hood lift (don't forget)
- lots more to come.....
- thinking about Teraflex 2.5" coil lift
- K&N cold air intake
- RIPP Super Charger
- Airock
- ARB lockers (maybe)

If you want an aggressive tread pattern for the tires take a look at the Copper STT or the new General Tires (Red Lettering ) As far as the light bar goes im sure you can put any size light you want on the RR light bar

Inspiration for tires
wheels i would go Mickey Thompson
Tires I would try the Nitto Trail Grappler 295/70/17
Leveling kit go with the coil kit well worth the extra cost.
The light bar I don't know about
Lights lots of choices smaller I prefer KCs
