Ok, got the lift...now tires.
Ok, it's between the maxxis bighorn and Hankook MT. I can get the hankook in 285/75/17 with my stock tire trade ins for $600 out the door. Or, if I use stock 16" steelies, I can get maxxis bighorns 285/75/16 w/tradein for around $400 out the door. However, i would have to use the steelies instead of my rubi wheels. Any opinions on these two tires. Guy at tire store said they stopped carrying bighorns because they are nearly impossible to balance. Also said the hankook's get a lot of miles before wearing out. if i got the bighorns on my steelies...then i could change out tires when need be. looking for some "friendly" input...."GARY" lol just messin with ya.
oh, they also had one set of the rubi bfg's that I could get for $400 out the door.

Chatted briefly with Dewayne today about the dinner gathering last night. He said they had a good time, and plan to possibly get together a couple times each month.
For the next meeting I'll share some of my MPG secrets, but the most exciting topics will be covered by these Huntsville area luminaries:
Edit: Just found out that unfortunately, 08{GA}RUBICON, our surprise guest speaker from GA, will not be able to make it, so his special topic, "How to Integrate your Drivetrain with a Rock Slab" will have to be postponed to a later date.
For the next meeting I'll share some of my MPG secrets, but the most exciting topics will be covered by these Huntsville area luminaries:
In5ane Dewayne - "The Finer Points of Mall Crawling", with emphasis on proper tire pressure, choosing the best line when parking, one spot or two, plus his celebrated, Three Easy Steps to Avoiding Curb Rash.
bama-jk - "Advanced Mudding 579" . . . subtitled, "Wedding Anniversaries, Mud Pits, and your Wife - What do they have in common?"
08RedRecon - "How to Squeal your wheels in 2nd Gear, and still get 25MPG." Yup, that's what he says.
Denny2565 - "How to Convert your Sahara into an X for less than $5000."
Come join us for some lively discussion, and No, it won't be lively cause we're talking politics - we'll be talking Jeep JKs and smack. bama-jk - "Advanced Mudding 579" . . . subtitled, "Wedding Anniversaries, Mud Pits, and your Wife - What do they have in common?"

Brake Lines
bama or Dewayne,
What, if anything, are you guys planning to do with regard to your brake lines? Presently, I believe that they are my JK's limiting component during flex (long story, but Teraflex packaged shocks designed for a 4" lift with their 2.5" coil lift).
Looks like my choices are brake lines designed for:
0-2" of lift, or
3-4" of lift.
I'm thinking of going with the 0-2" length, as I believe the 3-4" length might leave too much "slop" in the brake line.
