First real upgrade. Question?

[Da Cooyon]

I got myself the Pro Comp D Window steel wheels (set of 5) for a little over $250.

Nothing wrong with steelies in my book. That's a good price though. When I was looking for a spare 17" for my TJ they were $100 ea.

Thanks guys. I pick up the Jeep lifted after work today. So excited, the dealer is installing it cheaper than other popular places quoted me so I went with them. I was interested to find out the "Mopar" lift is just teraflex springs with Fox shocks. Went with regular teraflex 9550 lift and saved the extra $500 .
I'll post an update.

For now the wheels will stay stock but will look at steel 17" wheels for the future.. I was thinking if I stay with the stock wheels running 285/75/17 tires but I'll do more research before anything gets done.

Congratulations. I recently got the Teraflex 3" lift with the 9550 shocks on my TJ and I am really happy with the setup. I also got a Teraflex adjustable track bar added to the setup.

I got myself the Pro Comp D Window steel wheels (set of 5) for a little over $250. Granted it doesn't come with beadlock and other fancy stuffs but neither do I plan to wheel with 5 psi. Works just fine for me :-)

5 psi on non beadloocks? You better carry something to air up and pop the bead back on. I have beadlocks and run 8 psi.

He said "but neither do I plan to wheel with 5 psi." Neither being the key word here.

Update, the teraflex 2.5 lift rides great, I think it's less bouncy than stock. Overall it's less lift than i was expecting but didn't want to go crazy. I'm sure bigger tires will help. I think different wheels are definitely in the future. After a little research I don't think I like the idea of spacers for the wheels. I'm looking at 35" tires. The dealership offered a 35x12.5x20 MT tire and wheel package but I don't like the idea of 20" is a 20 ideal for off road. I like how a 17" wheel looks.

I would stick to 17" wheels!

20's are for 40"+ tires on an off-road jeep, or for 35's in a bro-jeep that crawls the mall. I think Steve has 20's on his for that purpose. Stick to the 17's, plus tires are cheaper.

X2. I prefer 17" wheels on JKU's and 15" on XJ/TJ's
