Call Of Duty MW3

Hello everyone, I am fairly new here and fairly new to the JK though I have owned several Jeeps in the past. I purchased a Silver 2 door 2012 COD MW3 Edition Rubicon used in September of 2014.











Here is my starting point:


Year: 2012, Model: Rubicon, Color: Silver, Drivetrain: 3.6L V6, 5 speed automatic, E locker D44s front and rear with 4:10 gears, Max tow package, Suspension: TERAFLEX 2.5" Coil spring Lift Kit w/ Shock Extensions and stock Rubicon shocks, Front Lower Long FlexArms, Rear Lower Sport FlexArms, Wheels & Tires: Black Rubicon MOAB wheels with 35x12.50x17 NITTO Trail Grappler MTs, (also running 1.25" wheel spacers not sure of brand) Bumpers: AEV tubeless Front bumper, AEV Rear bumper with tire carrier, Armor: Stock Rubicon Armor, AEV Front Skid plate, AEV Rear Differential Skid plate, Enhanced Jeep rock rails, Winch: Smittybilt XRC8, Performance: Superchips Flashpaq, Lights: PIAA 540 windshield mounted lights, Accessories: VIAIR 400C Air Compressor mounted in engine compartment.


As far as use goes this is a Daily Driver and will see lots of on road use including long trips but I would also need it to be capable off road. My job will require me to take the Jeep off road on some pretty rough terrain (I sometimes do inspection on active Gas pipeline and well pad construction sites in the mountains of WV and PA). I also hope to find some other local Jeep owners that are familiar with some of the closer trails.


I want to slowly make additions to the Jeep and would like suggestions from you guys. Considering how much I owe on this thing additions will be slow and I will be working with the current lift. First I would like to get proper length shocks for my lift. I am thinking Blistein 5100's or Old Man Emu but I would really like to hear your suggestions.


I would also like input about what exhaust loop to get (if it is needed) and weather I need limiting straps.


Next I want to add some armor. I am mainly interested in front and rear differential covers, engine skids and transmission skids.


Thanks in advance

TF includes 2.5-2.75 bumpstop, that means you can run any shock that measures 16-16.5" compressed. The rancho 29/30 9000XL OR 5000x are very common shocks with your lift.

I just added the Teraflex 2.5'' to my JKU and I got the 2.0 Fox Shoxs instead of their 9550 shocks and I really like them so far. Jeep rides so much better than stock now. And for $97each you cant wrong.

I had the same lift TF BB 2.5 on my JKU and it drove poorly with 35's, I added Bilstien 5100's and a OME stabilizer and it rides 90% better.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Please keep them coming. I love to hear about everyone's experiences. The fox 2.0 sounds like an interesting option I will need to look into.

I like your rig! I do not have that lift or any and have not read any good reviews on TF shocks, but I have read on Fox, Bilstiens, Ranchos. I will probably add Fox to my set up down the road.
