Default Pulling the trigger!!!

OK everybody tomorrow or Thursday I'm finally pulling the trigger on my lift and wheels. I have been reading post on this forum for months and here is what I have decided to purchase for my 2011 Rubicon unlimited.
AEV 3.5 with the 5160 shocks
ATX slab beadlocks 17x9


I'm getting 35x12.50 but haven't decided on which ones yet.

Any thoughts or concerns.

Good choice. Those beadlocks look burly.
Call Northridge for a quote the lift before you pay anyone else. They have a great reputation.

Go with Trail Grapplers. I've put mine through hell and they've taken it like a champ.

OK well at least the wheels sound like the right choice.

How are the trail grapplers on road.

OK I purchased the 3.5rs aev lift today from Northridge 4x4 and ordered new longer brake lines because I hate using brackets and bending hard lines.

I did not purchase wheels today still not sold on the slabs for 400 a wheel .

I read the install instructions and they seem pretty easy if anybody has any input it would be appriciated and if anyone lives near fredericksburg va and wants to drink a few while we install let me know.

I hope the 5160 shocks are as good as I hear
