Thanks for the feedback. I am picking up a set of used Rubicon tires/rims tonight. i think that will be the best fit. Regearing is not cheap and I am not ready to think about that yet. Here's hoping I can get a little someting for the stock wheels and tires.

That's a good choice. A note about gearing, since your Sahara is equipped with the automatic it has 3.73 gear ratio.

You can ask your dealer for a build sheet of your JK which will have the gear ratio on it if you're looking for confirmation.

I would think the window sticker that has everything broken down is the build sheet, correct? that is where I got the 3.21 information.

That's correct, 3.21 will be listed under "Standard Equipment." Since your Jeep has the optional 42RLE tranmission, it was bundled with the 3.73 gear ratio on all 2008 - 2011 MY non-Rubicon JKs.

You are quite right - I missed that. I was a little depressed thinking I had bought a jeep with 3.21's. :)

I got the new tires on and started a build thread: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/74702-JKJenn-s-Expedition-Build-Thread

Thanks, again for all of the feedback!! You guys were a huge help.
