Default Upgrade Time!

Hey Everyone,
Haven't posted in a while...
I've decided (well my wife has ok'd it actually) to upgrade my jeep (2012 Jk Sport)....After a bunch of research, here's what I've decided upon for step 1 this spring:
-295/70/r17 Duratracs on stock wheels
-1.5" Spridertrax spacers
-Teraflex leveling kit 1inch rear, 2 inch front.
-Shocks- Help please! Any suggestions out there? Are front and rear shocks for a 2012 the same?

I've budgeted around 3500$ for the upgrade (parts and labour) is this reasonable?
Anyone out there running this setup?
Love the help thanks all!​​​​​​

I think that's a little high..I for example back about the time u were buying ur 2012 I was installing
with a friend my 4" Superlift lift kit which I believe at that time was under $1000. COMPLETE.
The shocks at that time were Rancho's which after X amount of years leaked so I bot
Bilstein 5100 (chk out their webpage very interesting information on their products
(https://workshop.bilstein.com/en/products)
So I am going back like 10 yrs but I still think its HIGH..
Shop around

Thanks Whitey,
Those Bilstein shocks look great and have wicked reviews...Although they're pushing my budget, best to do right the first time!
I was thinking 1500$ for tires, 300 for spacers, 300 for lift and 4-600 for labor...
I always budget high, then I'm not disappointed!
Super stoked to upgrade some things...

Hi, I think $ 3,500 is a perfectly normal price for such an upgrade
