ok here we go. I'm a newbie and would like to get some modifications going in the next month or so. I've looked around the forums and I'm pretty sure I've managed to confuse myself even more while trying to learn about what I want to do, so I'm throwing this out to the crowd. I had somebody suggest that I start with lifting and putting some new 33" tires on, so that sounds like a plan to me but I could use some guidance here. oh and I'm shooting for spending around $700-900 so if you have some suggestions for new toys within that range speak up.
Tires: I'm going for the 33x9.50x15 BF Goodrich AT's. My question here is do I need different wheels? Perhaps not right now, but I've noticed a lot of folks mentioning that they run 12.5's. I'm not sure why... and if I go with these tires, will a 2" lift be enough?
Lift: It seems a lot of people recommend old man emu for lifts so I've looked at the 2" lift here: http://www.quadratec.com/products/16300_400.htm Although I'm not entirely clear on the different ways to lift a Jeep.
If you do the math on just those two items it puts me at around $780, before installation or shipping.
One last thing, don't be afraid to give too much information. I just figured out today that when people say LJ, they're talking about my Unlimited for christ's sake...
