Default Tired of my stock JKs looks...

I am thinking about doing some minor mods to my 2008 JK. To be honest, I am getting somewhat tired of the stock appearance. Mainly because I see so many Jeeps, and mine just blends in with the the pack.

I bought a Teraflex 2.5” performance budget boost almost two years ago, and it's still sitting in the middle bedroom. I'll have to buy the rear track bar bracket as it was not part of the kit.

I am also pondering the thought of moving up to 33in tires and AEV pintler argent rims. Yeah, Yeah... I know... everyone has AEV rims, but not where I live.

I think these mods would seperate my JK from the pack and not kill my wallet in the process. Thoughts?

Put the lift on ASAP. You dont need any brackets or bars. I put on a RC lift, just spacers & shock extensions, and didnt notice any problems.

Please click on my profile and see my stock 2008 JK with the 2.5 Teraflex spring and shock lift, bumpers and a winch. 1.5" spacers on the stock wheels and the stock 255 75r17 tires too.
These changes help I think. It may give you some ideas too.

When I had my 2.5 Teraflex coil lift installed, they put the new track bar brackets on the front and put the ones from the front on the back.

That would do the trick. Perhaps a set of bushwacker flat fender flares to really scream NO STOCK?
