Default Newbie w/ 2012 JKU

Name is Jon, This is my first Jeep ever. My previous vehicles just this past year were an 08 sierra level w/ 33's, traded for 07 Trailblazer SS. TBSS was to uneconomical for my travelling to moved back to a sierra but a 2011. I hated it, they changed to a 6 spd trans and downed the hp. My 08 had over 400 hp and 450 tq and i still got good mpg's. The 2012 leveled with 33's was a bear and wouldnt shift right on hills. It was so irritating, plus body interior noise drove me nuts. So traded it for the JKU.

Plans are a 2.5-3.5 lift and 35's. My JK is just the sport, i plan on changing flares and wheels so no point paying extra for the Sahara. Its black w/ soft top.

I will post a pic as soon as I can.

Welcome!

I have a similar setup: 2012 JKU Sport w/ 33's. Trying to decide what size lift to get. At this point thinking 2.5 - 3". Definitely update with what lift you end up getting!
