Hey guys I'm looking for some info on 4x4 shops in my area. I would love to do all the work myself,but work,time,lack of a tall enough garage are holding me back at this point. I was wandering if someone could point me in the direction of a good,yet not expensive shop. Also I've seen tons of threads on what rims can/cant be used,but would it be easier/cheaper to use stock rims,Rubi's. or go after market/ I've seen a few after markets that I really like and was just wandering. Thanks all.

Hey man, no one knows where you're from (except me).... gotta put something in your profile or in the post so they know where "my area" is https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png

If you're looking for a spacer lift, i may be able to help you out there. I removed my 2" Rough Country lift and replaced it with the OME HD springs/struts. I can do the lift in my garage... which isn't huge, but get's the job done :).

For wheels there are a lot of aftermarket options that will work. What styles do you like?

Sorry about that guys,I forgot to update my profile. I'm in Bellmawr. About 10 mins from Philly in south jersey. Thanks Matt,if ya could PM me the info about the RC as far as what else I would need etc to go with it. I'd like to keep the handling and ride as close to stock as possible. As for rims I'd like to go Black! I saw a brand in a mag and cant remeber the name of them,its in my locker at work,but they had a "star" in the center cap if that helps. Thanks again for all the info and help.

Oh... and have a read through this: http://www.theultimatejeep.com/showthread.php/1268-Matt-s-Pinch-Weld-quot-How-To-quot?weld

Modifying the pinch weld is practically a necessity on these vehicles; but it's not a big deal when done right.

The only issue with the Rockstars is they're 9" wide with 5" backspace which make it a bit tougher to fit some meatier tires. For reference, they'll stick out 1/2" further than my wheels; so that pinch weld mod is 100% required to run those :eek: (but it's very doable, just need to be a bit careful with the tire selection)

I really like those wheels too. If he runs a superlift there is more chance there will be less rubbing in the long run.

That is true... those wheels will work better with the 4" superlift....
