I'm actually waiting until spring time . . . I will be keeping the stock wheels for winter tires anyways. It's nice having lots of time to research and make decisions. Can't wait to get the wheels on, take the top off, put the half doors and my offroad lights on and take her out in the sunshine though!!!! Gonna be a longgggg winter :S lol

Does anyone have any opinions or experience with a 2.5" AEV lift kit??
I've been told it's very reliable and good for what I'm looking for. . . . thoughts?

Thoughts or opinions on the Rockstar XD rims?

Thanks again!!
Well I have the AEV 2.5" lift and Rockstar rims. Love the look, not so sure I like the ride. I do find the ride a little harsh which appears to be due to 18" rim/tire combo and not the lift.

Pic is in my response above. Tires are BFG AT 305/65R18. The ride is a little rougher than stock but not much. If you kick one of the tires you can see it wiggle (vibrate) for a second, just due to design. Therefore you will that every time you hit a bump in the road. I don't mind it at all but it drives my wife nuts.

That would be the tire though not so much the rims right??
I don't mind a rough ride either way :) I like the look of ur jeep with wheels n lift tho!! My buddy put 20" rims n it still looks good but not enough rubber for my taste. I think I'm leaning towards the aev lift. Your wheels are 35" then right? You have no trouble with rubbing or anything? The lift is definitely big enough? Where did you get it installed?
