Welcome to the Forum, Platoon!
All good advice so far but I have one thing to add... you will spend more money on gas. I have 35 BFG's, 3.5 lift, 4.10 gears and get 8mpg. Now granted I do drive like a scalded ape and only got about 12mpg on stock 32's... but it is something to consider. I love the way mine drives and I have no problem on the interstate except for the slow bastards in the left lane..

Hi,
I have nothing to add to this thread, but I live in athens and work in huntsville. Just got a 2010 4dr this year. My big question is if you drive 50-70 miles a day would you still lift your jeep and put 35's or bigger on it? I have upgraded all of the audio and lights, so what next?
maybe 33's with no lift, 34-35's with BB or rubi take offs?

I've had it as high as 16.8 but stays at 13.5 in the city I think has stock gears 410 ...I hate that I can't or don't know how to reset it on the fly....My dodge quad cab I traded for the Jeep had where you could reset rolling down the road, like go down hill with foot off gas and then reset and get 99 mpg and at the bottom stepping on the gas and watching it drop like rock

Reset the MPG: just hold down the button for a couple of seconds. I reset mine after every fill-up. Otherwise, you are getting an average from a greater amount of time. Which is not as accurate.
