Picked up my 2013 Commando Green JKUR in March from the dealership. This is my 4th Jeep but first from the JK line.

My most recent Jeep was a 05 TJ that I bought stock as well, but it ended up after 7 years, with a long arm lift and coilovers on all corners, a full cage, 5 point harness', etc. So I had a good idea what direction I was taking with the JKUR. I wanted a quality functional rock crawling lift but not as extreme as the TJ.....yet. So after much research I ended up choosing Synergy 3" Phase 3 lift with FOX shocks and upgraded to all 8 adjustable control arms. The lift also comes with a drag link replacement and flip kit. I also added a AEV Procal with the order.

I do all my own work, I installed everything in my garage as I've done for years. I like to know how it all works to be able to replace it if it breaks or to service it not to mention the hundreds to thousands of dollars saved in labor costs. I completed the rear end first as it was the easiest and fastest area to start. I chose (5) Trail Ready 17HD Bead Lock wheels with dual valves and slim rock ring, and (5) 37 X 13.50 X 17 Toyo tires to wrap around them also installed by me as NO tire shop will touch beads and at over $400 retail cost a piece, Id rather not have a tire boy touch them.
