Every jeep is different. The nice thing is you can buy the flip separate. Try it out, then decide.

If you are talking about doing some serious off-roading I'd look into getting that front differential swapped out. Or ride the 30 until it breaks

A 3 inch lift with 35s and flat fenders should be fine as well. Anything more and you're going to dropping a lot more coin then you already have planned

agree. To the OP- Honestly If I were you I would stay under 2.5. Especially since you got a 2 door. I know it's easy to get "lift envy" but your money is better spent other places. You could get some 19/60 rubicon springs off Craigslist for 100 dollars. Cut your fender flares and run 35s. PLUS (a big plus) you will keep your stock ride quality. Installed yourself and your out $100. Use that extra grand on some quality bumpers or towards regearing. Jeep would ride better and look better than spending everything on a 3.5 lift
Just my 2cents.

To give you an idea, A pic from a guy on another forum.
EVO leveling kit and 35s.
He prob has less than 2" of total lift.

I currently have the pro comp 3" level kit and Nitto Trail Grapps LT315/70R17 and love it. Cut my fenders too.

I had a true 2" spacer lift. It didn't sit that tall. 35's did clear just fine on the 2". I'd cut the fenders for sure.

That looks mean!

Found someone selling 2015 19/60 springs with 750 miles on them and the cost was $125+$35 for shipping.
He should be sending these out Monday.

When these come in I am going to attempt to do these myself. Seems pretty straight forward.
I don't have a jack lift or stands but may borrow or buy them to get the job done.


No particular order of what I want next but think the bumpers and fog/spot lights should be next.

What would you guys recommend next? Just curious to see what route might be best.

If you are going to add a spacer leveling kit do it now, so you don't have to install the springs twice.
Do you already have wheels/tires?
My list order if I could do it all over. In what order I would spend my coin.

-leveling kit
-spidershade
-spray paint muffler- high heat flat black ( I hate looking at that silver thing)
-cut fenders or buy flat fenders
-wheels/tires (35"tires, wheels with proper back spacing)
-Guss my Cs
-bumpers
-winch
-rock sliders
-see if I need more lift(want to upgrade my spacer lift to a coil lift) add Rancho adj shocks.
-trucklites
-led reverse light bulb swap
-oil pan skid
-EVO Rock star skids
-front LCA skids
-back up camera install
-Grabbar grab handles
-once I get a feel for what I'm using my jeep for and how capable it needs to be: gears/lockers (front axle swap)

Use forums and YouTube to do all your own labor and save a ton of cash. Besides maybe the welding(I can't weld)
