For what?
You obviously live in a warm climate and even though its lifted, you have it setup for concrete use.
If you wanted to do something different (assuming you don't use 4wd), I would look for a 2wd front Cherokee axle and matching trans. Sell off the lift springs, 4wd hardware, wheels, and tires. Get stock leafs, get 30s and roll on 2wd.
If you wanted suggestions to wheel it, get aggressive tires, regear/lock axles, get SYE and remove the tcase drop, get recovery items (hooks, winch, bumpers), and join a local 4wd club that wheels.

what is your end goal? with shiny rims like that, i doubt you take it on the trails often. if it's street use you are looking for, you can always check the engine mods forum members have done. I for example am running banks headers, high flow cat and banks exhaust. there are numerous throttle bodies, throttle body spacers, intakes etc. this forum also has excellent threads detailing turbo installs... im assuming off roading isn't a primary passion, so i would just go with engine work and build a stronger 2.5l.

Pimp??? :eek:

If you plan to wheel it the next mod should be wheels and tires.

Well I got the new SRC bumpers installed front and rear. I may not take it off road much, but she does see Mud and runs up and down the beaches here in Florida! As far as the rims and tires, Yes they are a bit, :yikes: Bling... Bling... but they do the job! :guns:

I bought a 4x4 for a reason. :guns: So since i have nice rims you assume I don't go off road? ::) I am looking in to different riding groups here in Jacksonville Florida: http://www.justjeepsofjacksonville.com/index.html :beers:

I think he's going beach comber and his wheels and tires will do just fine.
The guys are right about rocky trails though; the wheels and tires you have now won't hold up well on a trail so you may need two sets of wheels and tires. It's no big deal, lots of people have two sets.

chitchc2,
I was looking in to maybe getting a set of Wagon rims for more aggressive driving. And yes I do a lot of Beach and on road driving....
