Hi, I’m new to the forum. Usually I don’t post things but I am curious what other 392 owners think about the build I’m doing.

Add another wheel and tire so you have a set of 5… so you have a matching spare

I would suggest doing 37" tires.

What are you planning on doing with your jeep? Design your build around that

Short answer to what you posted:

1. If you’re committed to a 35” tire, don’t upgrade any suspension, drivetrain, or steering components. The stock suspension will handle everything and you’ll save yourself around $7,000+ bucks.

Longer simple answer:

1. A lift allows you to run bigger tires.
2. Bigger tires give you more ground clearance.
3. More ground clearance = more off-road fun.
4. If you’re going to take your Jeep off-road… move to a 37” MT tire (I like Cooper or Nitto). The sidewall of an MT is superior in every way.
5. If you’re running beadlocks… see #4

Lastly, I would skip the steering stabilizer upgrade unless your flat-towing behind an RV or its worn out. I have the full PSC kit on one of my 392’s and I moved my adjustable Teraflex stabilizer to my wife’s 392 when I upgraded. The stock one is more than sufficient.
