I like the Mickey Thompson Classic 2's. I have had my eye on them for along time. I saw a silver '06 with these on it, and they really looked awesome.
However... I am starting to be swayed to the dark side by all these ProComp dark wheels that keep showing up.

I think those'd look really sweet on Silver
they do.. we had them on a silver JK here. It looks alot nicer on silver than my green

Yep.
I ordered a wheel for my spare over a month ago and still haven't got it. It's on backorder. :sad:

Question

For 35" x 12.5" tires does it make much of a difference whether the wheel is
8" or 9" in width? I used to have 33" x 12.5" on a 15" x 8" wheel but it seems most that are putting on 35's are going with a 9" wheel width.

Except for those using the stock 17" or 18" x 7.5" wheels with 35's..... Hmmm:confused:

So to clear the 35's i would probably be best off getting a 3 inch lift...

If i were to get a Full Traction 3" Premium Lift Kit which Shocks do your recomend? They offer Hydro Shocks or M-Force Nitro Shocks... Im thinking the M-Force are probably more then i need?

The kit comes with

Front & Rear Coil Springs
Front & Rear Sway Bar Links
Front & Rear Bump Stop Extensions
Brake Line Extension Brackets
Fixed Length Front and Rear Lower Control Arms
Front Track Bar
Rear Track Bar Bracket

The track bar is adjustable, which is what you need to align to keep the car from drifting due to a lift, correct?

Any one recomend any cheaper kits that would work issue free with 35's? Ive got one vote for skyjacker's 2.5'' lift.

If full traction built it, its going to work issue free.

whats the price difference between the premium and the Ultimate?

If its not a big difference you might wanna consider the upgrade.

M-Force shocks are just going to ride better, It rides smooth on mine.
