| ebay is why I got my first BB. a procome 1.75" BB. came with front & rear pucks and bumpstops. the cool thing about the bumpstops is they have lines one them every inch so it makes it easier if you want to trim them up. I got it for about $100.00 shipped in '07. | |

| Im Going with the 3" lift and 33's im not a hard core off roader just want it to look nice and give me a little beter of an edge off road. Thanks for all the info though guys it is appreciated. Oh by the way the wife and I are planning another camping trip to big bend state park in April. We went last year in a stock jeep and had a blast looking forward to going a few places we couldnt last time. | |

| Full Traction makes complete and affordable lift kits that can be built upon later. I think Dutchboy mentioned this as well.
If you're only going to be running 33's though I wouldn't bother lifting it until you're ready for 35's or larger. Maybe some pucks, or some heavier duty springs for an inch or so but the need to spend money to lift your JK for only 33's just isnt there. That extra money could be spent on nicer tires that will better fit your needs.
Good luck to you man, but for Gods sake stay away from rough country. you could count the people on one hand that have a good review of their product. | |

| My Rough Country kit has been on my JK for 2 years now. I replaced the coils about a month ago b/c they were sagging. Granted it has a hemi, winch and an aftermarket bumper on it.
Also, my RC kit came with 8 new control arms. I think it flexes fine but I've used Poly Performance parts to replace all the RC stuff besides the coils and shocks. You get what you pay for.
I'm not sure if it was mentioned but you could cut the flares and run 35's that way. Just buy your spacers and slap the tires on the stock wheels.
If I were to do it again, I'd definitely go with Poly or RK. I'll probably replace my RC coils and shocks soon. | |
