I don't know if you do any towing, but the receiver in the Poison Spyder bumper doesn't keep the factory tow ratings... Food for thought.

Metalcloak has a 5% military discount. It basically covered the cost for me to get everything shipped all the way to South Carolina.
Morris 4x4 has a 10% military discount, but you can't combine it with free shipping.
I think 4wp still has a military discount, but you can only get it in store.

Does the Willys edition come with sliders? If not those are what I always recommend you spend money on first. I would spend the money on protecting the vulnerable bits underneath especially since you plan on keeping it low. C-Gussets, LCA skids, oilpan skids, steering stabilizer relocation are all wise things to do.

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.
The main downfall is fitting an aftermarket tie rod. It can be done, but takes some grinding.

Tires are so cheap for 15s that it makes it all worth it.

FYI on selling the stock wheels/tires. I listed mine for $1300 w/ 1750 miles on them and they were gone in 12 hours for $1200 on craigslist.

The Willys comes with the rubicon slides, and I plan on putting on the protection on over time while im here in Texas. Hoping to get stationed in Wyoming or Northwest of there next.
