Did you have to do any trimming of the bumper for the tires? Probably not with the three inch lift...

I'm ordering that kit this week, anything you would suggest to go along with buying the kit? I'm planning on getting brake lines and possibly some cones. Also, what size tires are you running, it looks great!

What were you're measurements in the end after the lift? From the middle of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch?

Yes James is correct they are 275/65/18 Goodyear wrangler Duratrac. 3inch terrafirma lift from Justin at Lucky8llc with terrafirma steering damper. He had the bedt price and service was top notch in my opinion. He spent a good hour on the phone with me to help with my decision. I did not extend my brake lines and it isn't required, however, I did loosen the brackets and ziptied them for extra length. No trimming of bumper required, I had the tires on before the lift but didn't tell anyone lol and they didn't rub unless turning hard. Haven't measured yet but I will tomorrow. I haven't had a chance to articulate fully yet but damn near close and this suspension is boss! Oh and tires are big boss!!

Oh and I have noticed that my off-road bravery has increased tremendously lol, so now I can get stuck somewhere I would have never gone before.

GoodYear DuraTracs rock. I have had mine now for 8000 miles and really feel safe in the snow and rain. Now I have moved to Denver and need to put them to the test in some Winter wheeling. I scored mine brand new on CL from a Shell station that ordered them for a customer that never installed them... $600 all 4 new that was a sore! Then took me 6 months to find a matching spare. Now have an extra spare. They are like tiger paws in the mud & snow. Now I need to get stuck so I can use my winch!
