Default New to JK's not to Jeeps from austin tx

hello everyone, just got a 2007 jeep JK unlimited. It has 4.10 factory installed. I've wheeled for the last couple years with my built XJ. I did sell it to go ahead and lift the JK, wheel and tires, and bumpers. I do have concerns about sag after lifting. I know i don't want to go higher than 2.5 in with 35's because the wife needs to be able to get in. Any advice would be great. Looking at Rock krawler, seem like most people haven't had any sagging with there products. Also do we get any discounts at any online store, maybe Northridge 4x4.

Hello from west Texas. Sagging really depends on the springs you use, but usually a small spacer can make for any sagging due to bumpers and a winch. As far as discounts the forum sponsors run forum deals off and on all year.

Wow! That is one of the best looking bedlined rigs I've seen. Nice job! And welcome to the forum.

Thanks. The guy I had do it has been bed lining since its induction I to the market and is a huge fan of the super liner. Plus it's not a roughy texture. Still smooth enough to wash with a sponge but hard as nails. It's really cool. The cedar trees down here will scratch down to the bare metal real quick. This is the only way to not ever worry about it again.

I know the guy so I got a little bit of a deal, plus I tore off all the plastic on the jeep so it was ready for prep when I dropped it off. I paid $750 including the sprayed on decal. He said he normally charges $1000-1200 for extiorior only spray.

I looked at linex and it has a rough texture. Not goon be fun when you try and wash it. It will need a rough tire brush and even then it takes two or three washes. That's why I went this way.

Thanks guys. I almost went with a flat silver and the wife kinda nudged me with this color. I'm glad she did.
