I like the spyder but trying to keep it under $1000

 

I'd reuse your stock wheels and get spacers before going to 15s.

Agree on skipping OR-fab. Ace is goods stuff, just a bit heavy, but the price is right. Catch them when they have one of their 25% off sales.

As for sound system, it will always sound bad. However, that insane audio head unit looks sick!

 

I've got an amp running all of my speakers and an extra pair of 6x9's then a separate smaller amp wired to my 12 inch sub. I believe bazooka makes a sub that already has the amp and everything built into it??? I had one a while back but can't remember for the life of me

 

I bought ace when it first came out and had some issues with quality. The current tire carrier looks nothing like the one I bought 2 years ago. I would also suggest spending the extra money on the tire carrier to get a quality item with a track record behind it. Poison spyder, LOD etc. I can almost guarantee this won't be the last money you spend on your jeep. My only suggestion is do it right the first time. I've bought 2 front bumpers, 2 rear bumpers, 2 sets of rock rails, 2 suspension lifts... Soon will probably be my 3rd set of wheels and second axle upgrade. Possibly my 3rd suspension. I've had this jeep since December 2011 and had 6 sets of tires so far. Take some time and figure out what you really want and go from there. If budget is tight, wait and save.

 

Right there with you on doing it right the first time, I like the lift that I can build into. I know tires and wheels will change over time. Ever thing else I want to get it right the first time. and with no experience your inputs are highly valuable.

With the 15 in wheels, what are the down falls, specifics with the steering and suspension parts. Im looking at 15s with 3.75 back spacing. Im not worried about the braking aspect unless the stock brakes setup will fail in some way. If I ever changed out the breaks it will be into the future when these tires should be wore out anyways.

 

Alright so after listening to you guys about the Poison Spyder Set up, I Did some more research, If I go with them I can get there set up and Front Mid Bumper cheaper, I eliminate what I factored for sales tax and they offer a 5% Military discount for Poison Spyder. I come out the door at 5450. Ill pay an extra $200 for better quality and not have to drill into the sheet metal.
I may eliminate my winch for right now, plus id still have to get it powder coated.

 

Might want to check with Northridge pretty sure they do 10% off for poison spyder.

 

I don't think that kit from Northridge includes shocks, so what is your plan for that? Love my OMEs with that MC kit.

Also with 35s one thing to consider is C gussets for cheap insurance.

 

subscribing since I am starting over with my 15 JKUR and have $6,000 to spend too.

 

Planned on just keeping the stock shocks on man
