Hi, all. I joined a couple weeks ago and this is my first post. Anyway, I'm planning to do a lift and I'm looking for some tips on my '08 KK.
I'm going to run the 3.5" X Factor Rock Krawler system (and I may add the longer rear shocks). I don't plan on wheelin' this Jeep as it's a mall crawler at best. Hence the X Factor system and nothing too crazy. Anyway, I want to do a slight increase in tire size as well but I still want some fender gap. Right now she's got the chrome-clad 18" wheels but I'd like to bump it up a notch or two in tire size but run the OEM wheels. I also plan on adding 1"-1.5" wheel spacers to push the wheels out a bit for a more aggressive stance.
Does anyone have any ideas on any 18" tire sizes that is available and will work? I'd prefer a mud tire for looks but I'm still open for that. I'd give you the size of the OEM crapyear tires that are on it now but I can't remember and it's dark out.
Anyway, here she is. Limited, Sky Slider, Nav, leather, parking sensors, etc. Only thing it doesn't have that I can tell is backup camera which I plan to install before or after I do the hitch.
This is not my first Jeep. My last one was an '00 XJ and it was bad booty as far as I'm concerned. 4.5" TeraFlex, Tom Woods DS, SYE kit, etc. That Jeep started out small and stock, and went through many phases during my ownership including 33" ProComp X-terrains which sucked. Down sized to a TJ Rubicon Moab wheel and GY tire setup and that was my favorite look. Did just as good if not better o/r that way too. Been kicking myself in the face ever since I got rid of it. Dumbest decision I've ever made, hence the new Libby.
See the resemblence?
Thanks, guys!
