    2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimitted JK Build

    Since I just ordered the parts to start my build, I thought I would share with the class.

    We started with a 2016 white Sahara unlimited. I'll post before pictures with the after pictures when it's installed.

    I ordered:
    Teraflex 2.5" coil lift.
    Rancho 9000xl adjustable shocks, we have a baby on the way and I thought it would be nice to be able to adjust for softer ride for a period of time.
    Rancho control arm bracket
    Teraflex Exhaust spacer kit
    JKS adjustable front track bar

    Still debating wheels and tires, but leaning towards XD Rockstar 2 wheels and some rubber in a 315/70r17 and a D load rating.

    I hope to get to the install within the next couple of weeks.

      I'm jealous, I want one for my next car, I just can't justify the money when my 2004 Expedition is basically a station car and my wife's MDX gets driven on the weekends.

              I'll be following this. Other than a few lights and a trek top I haven't done too much to my '13 unlimited.

                Trying to figure out which tires to go with, so I posted this on Wrangler Forum, maybe you guys can chime in.

                "Just ordered the lift for our 2016 Sahara JKU, and need to order some rubber. We have a baby on the way, so I want the softest and quietest on-road performance possible while getting the look we want. I have a 2.5" teraflex coil lift and Rancho 9000xl shocks on the way. We want to run 35" tires, and we wanted to stay in the C-D load range, 17-18" wheels, and an aggressive look. To fit this, our options are very limited and all I found was a few 315/70R17 tires that had the look and D load rating.

                Dick Cepek Fun Country or Extreme Country
                Mickey Thompson Baha ATZ p3
                Goodyear Duratrac or MT/R
                Nitto Trail Grapplers

                If I missed any, please let me know, but of these tires, which would give the quietest and most comfortable ride on-road. And if you are running any of these tires on a JKU and feel like sharing a pic, that would be great too.

                Thanks in advance"
