Installed a 2" lift, new shocks, new adjustable track-bars - front and back, new rear brakes. I'm trying to get BFG AT in 33x10.5x15 - having difficulty with this one.

Costco can get 10.50, But I will admit I've had a hard time finding 10.50's in the past. There are only a few tire companies making a 10.50, this will be the last set I have, going to 12.50's as there is way more selection and all the tire companies aside from Michelin make them.

Yep, I'm trying to get them from Costco, they have them on order, should be here in a couple of weeks. I know KAL Tire have them also, but quite a bit more money. I like the 33x10.5 look, if I cannot get them I'll probably go with Wangler DuraTrac in 33x12.5. Also, because the Jeep is my DD I'd like to keep the fuel consuption down and maintain a good steering presence, I've heard the 12.5's like to wander.

But enough talk about tires - wrong forum.

I put the front lift in last night and the new track-bar, and new stabilizer shock, and new swaybar links. However, today I have to get new bolts for the base of the shocks. I don't fancy using the old ones, they look a little corroded.

I just got this jeep. I'm really tired of modding vehicles. I spend way too much money on aftermarket. I'm going to leave this one bone stock.

Costco came through with the 33x10.5x15 BFG-AT tires. Had them mounted on the wheels yesterday, put them on the Jeep last night. Looks fantastic.

The new shocks (from the lift) really firmed up the suspension, the new tires however, seem to have softened it again. I have them at 30psi.

I looked at some rust. Then I looked a little more closely and started to cry.

Move to Alberta, we don't have rust here - it's not allowed, there is a law against it.
