Default New lift!

So, this happened over the weekend! Pretty excited about this. It's my first jeep (wanted one for a long time). I had a 2011 Ram with a 9 inch lift before this, but this is way more fun. A little background... bought the jeep 3 weeks ago. It's a 2014 Sahara. I've added front and rear bumpers, sliders, Trektop, Banks intake, Traildash, Gibson exhaust, flat fenders, light bar, 4 inch Teraflex long arm, fox bypass shocks, artec axle kits (front and rear), and 20 inch addicts wrapped in 37 inch terra grapplers. Have 5:13 gears going in this week.

Looks great! What kind of wheeling will you do with it? Any plans for lockers along with the gears?

As far as wheeling goes; not sure yet. Southern Indiana doesn't have a whole lot of rocky terrain. Mostly mud, some hills. Lockers are on the list, but if I start doing any real hard wheeling there will most likely be axle swaps so I'll deal with that when I get there. Don't get me wrong this thing has already been through some trails, but nothing crazy. Gets me to my shooting range out in the middle of the woods, and to my deer stand. Working so far. And yes, there was some money involved. I've had this planed for a while. I knew once I had the jeep I needed the money saved up to do everything right away. This was by no means a spur of the moment decision.

Thanks. Also, any input on what winch to go with? Thinking about new axle shafts and ball joints as well. Any help would be appreciated.

why 17's? you do realize we have about the same amount of sidewall right? 34 inch tire on a 17 and 37 inch tire on a 20. personal preference I guess.
