Dang cool stuff! If you go on trails I’d recommend building or buying a front skid plate. North woods has one, I built my own for $100 (build thread posted a few months ago)

If you want to go bigger on tires, I’d recommend 245/65/17s. This is what I run, it’s 29.5” and no rubbing. You really can’t go bigger than 30” or maybe 30.5” because the front strut would have to be replaced or extensively modified. Also unless you re-geared an already small differential, they car would be kinda too fast in first gear. The 245s have a little more width also which helps the stance, and they still fit as a spare for 5 tire rotations and a matching look:

I love ditch lights, I was able to install them to one of the front fender mounting bolts instead of the hood, couldn’t find any mounting kits online so made my own brackets and they have been great.

Why not throw a light bar in the grille slot or on the bull bar while you’re working on wiring?

yours is lifted crazy high! I’m not that daring but I definitely want to install a 2” front 1.5” rear (possibly from northwoods). Too scared to go any higher due to CVs and sway bars.

for wheel spacers, let us know if you run into issues with wheel bearings wearing out. If they hold up with 2.5”s I definitely want to install some 1”s in the future. Just not sure how they will do long term.
