    Just got a 2015 back in april. ready to lift and put new tires and wheels on it. No nothing much about lifting and want to know some info on it and/or good options on quality lift kits and tires/wheels. also recommended combinations of those would be much appreciated. interested in maybe a 2-3" lift and really like SCS sr8 rims. Thanks !

    Hey I don't know much either but here's what I did and love it.
    Arb old man emu dakar leaf springs: 2 3/4 inch lift
    Fox shocks
    Fox 2.0 coilovers 2 1/4 inch lift.
    Not much info on the 2.o coilovers around but to be honest I think they are bad ass! Handles great off road high speed and low love the ride

    I just did OME 887'S up front with Bilstein 5100's for 3 inches up front. And rear Icon 2.0 shocks with a Icon 1.5 progressive AAL. And Camburg UCA's Ball joint type. Then added Cooper ST/MAXX 265/75/16 inch tires on TRD Bronze Beadlock wheels.

    Those Cambergs working out all right now, Unchained? I thought those alignment numbers you where posting looked good, but wasn't sure. After driving with them they seem ok?
    This is a great, simple lift that should work fine for years.

    Yes they are and after doing some studying, and personally talking to Marlin at JBA. He said my specs were perfect and that I didn't need his High Caster arms. He said you should always have some positive Camber for turning purposes. Lift is great and rides smoooooooooooooooooooooooth

    Thinking of either getting the toy tech boss kit or fox kit. Got 17" wheels now was thinking of down grading to 16". Is this a good idea. What size tires would work? Thinking cooper st maxx. Want to avoid all and any vibrations. What's the best combo to go with?? Appreciate it!

    Did you just take them out of the box and installed them to get the 2 1/4 lift? Or did you adjust? I just got the Fox 2.0 coilovers and everything I've read online says they are 2" pre loaded out of the box. I just want to make sure. Plus, it's nice to see someone else having these since like you said there isn't much info on them.

    I bought the Fox 2.0 coilovers and wish I would have spent more $$$$ and bought the Kings.. I have already had to adjust them twice due to settling after only 1 month...
