I've been itching for some Jeep mods since I bought it mid October. Bought a 1.25" body lift to install over thanksgiving thinking that would hold me for a minute or two. It didn't, because I got a killer deal on a 2.5" suspension lift for Cyber Monday.

But what good is 3.75" of lift if your still running puny factory tires.

Well I found a killer deal on a set of 5 new wheels with 35" tires. Big thanks to Discount Tire Direct. Everything will be arriving next week and this should hold me over until tax time. Now I have to focus on clearing out the garage so I have space for my expensive Jeep hobby addiction.

Except on a Jeep where suspension = bigger tires = ground clearence + grip

Oh. This is the LAST mod I need for a while...I've been constantly telling myself for the last 3 years. Finally to the point now where I just replace stuff that breaks. Next steps for me would be engine/axle swaps or a full long arm conversion.

Oh. I just use ATVs for that. I've had my MR2 on trails though, and it's a fancy sports car.

I live in south Texas, lifted trucks that go off pavement is a deviation from the norm in College Station.

You're confusing correlation with causation. Otherwise, lifted Jeeps makes more sense than the pickups I see here.
