After 2 years of owning this thing and pondering the decision I finally lifted it. I went with a BDS 2"Lift (prior experience with them having put there lift on my TJ) and Teraflex front bumpstops,1.25 Spacers, beat down the pinch weld (Thanks for the info on how to do that) and mounted 31x10.50x15's on some donated LJ rims.
It rides like a dream now.

Future mods include Backbone,Winch, More lights, rack on top, lockers.

Do those LJ rims clear the brake caliper?

The fronts didn't clear the caliper w/o the spacers, but the rear did.
But I just like the look of the tires sticking out just a little.

BigDog, what are you initial thoughts on the BDS kit? Do you have anymore pics from the side?

G...I like that red firetruck color! It's a beauty! Look just right with the 15" wheels/spacer and 2" lift :)

After having a week to shake it down, it rides much better than stock (of course my stock was worn out..lol) and really feels like having a new vehicle. I can't wait to go wheel it next weekend and will give an update then. My only issues so far is that the front right is scrubbing a little at full lock,but my flare is a little more loose on that side so I need to try and tighten it a little.
