Ive been a lurker here for a while, figured I'd join up and become an active member of your great community.

The vehicle we have is a 2011 KK, we have owned it since early 2013 when we purchased it with 35k miles. It's been a great vehicle for my fiance as a daily driver. We had decided to start looking for a replacement vehicle, but recently decided to just keep it and make it more desirable to us.

We have installed the following.
MOPAR remote start
Automatic HVAC controls
Weathertech laser fit mats
2" Daystar Lift (as of 11-25-15)

We have the following planned very soon

Seat heater kits for front seats
MYGIG radio
ATH front shackle mount kit
Jet headlight housings
Fuel Anza 16x8 wheels in gun metal grey

We still haven't decided on a tire. We are currently suck between the Cooper STT Pro and the Toyo A/TII (feel free to chime in)


Here is a few photos from the lift install tonight.

WELCOME TO LOST
looks like you have a great start on getting it the way you like
( except for the lift, too bad you didn't read up on them first)
But good luck, install some Teraflex front bumpstops, that will help a little bit

Thank you! I was torn on the lift I know several have claimed sagging issues, I installed one of these on a different KK roughly 2 years ago and his is still at the same height it was when we put the lift on. The way I figured it, is I would do the 2", go ahead and do everything else we wanted to then I will upgrade to a JBA lift in the future.

Since you are leaning to an 8 inch wheel go to a 70 series tire, 255-70-16 or 265-70-16s set on that wide of a wheel lots better, 7 inch wide / 4 inches of backspacing is best.
On tire choice, neither of those

Welcome to Lost. Lots of info here.
Hate to sound negative, but that wasn't the best decision with the spacer lift. :(

The front weathertechs came in today, still waiting on the rears.

I'll have to wait till later to find out about the STT Pros, next time I cut a km2 on my samurai I might try the STT Pros. I wound up tossing these on today, after rebates and discounts they came out around $95 a tire, couldn't pass up the deal.. 245/65/r16 Toyo A/TII. I think a good plan of attack is to run this set up then in the future upgrade to the 3.5 jba lift and a larger more agressive tire.
