If you have the time, and the money, order your heave stuff before you leave (lift, bumpers, etc...) Shipping up here is off the chart due to gas prices. My one one big word of advice is, if you want to run a 35 inch tire, scrap the 8 inch factory rims and go with something in the 10 in class with proper backspacing. I have been running spacers and the factory 15x8 rims and wish I would have changed earler. There are a lot of people in the lower 48 who want rubicon rims, so you should be able to unload them and pick up a good aftermarket rim for almost nothing.

Creature comforts, I like an auto start and seat heaters :yes: I want to take care of the headliner this year like Tom mentioned, but we will see if it gets done, there is a lot on the plate right now.

If you make the jump to 35's, I would invest only once and get a Rubicon Express 5.5 longarm lift, or the Clayton. Dont piece one together only to decide that you wish you went the right route the first time. The 3.5 SF is good for 33's, but you will need at least another inch to run a 35 and not rub during flex.

Send me a PM if you want some price quotes and I will see what I can do to help you out.
