I.got my jk brand new in September. I've never had a project like this before. And there is a bit of a steep.learning curve. I have learned.a lot but I'm still pretty much completely in the dark about suspension and gears. I don't know what I have, why I might need, if those needs change when I put spacers and bigger tires? So I guess what I'm saying is.....help me?

What do you need help in? Just text me ill help you out (i lost all my contacts a while back:( )
If you have a penastar you dont need gears as much my buddy is running 37's on stock gears.
you have to start with what tire size you want first then you go from there

Hey Edgar! Message me your number again. I'm getting spacers I think, like 2 inch. And like 33s I think. But I'm just confused about the whole thing. I need like a crash course. I don't even understand what they are and what those numbers mean

Jeek.OlllllllO

Are you talking about your gears?

Libba_lizard

Yes. Yes and yes I'mconfused lol

Jeek.OlllllllO

It has to be with your drive shafts its pretty much how many times your drive shafts turns when your tire does one full turn so i have 4:10 gears witch means my drive shafts spins 4 full turns and a little more it just gives you more power i guess im not to sure so i think you have 3:73 im not to sure but i think thats how it works. .
If you have an 2012 then you don't have to worry about gears.

Soooo the short answer is, I'm good.

Jeek.OlllllllO

Yes even 35's umm and 37's it should be okay not to sure so if you go 33's you should get just like a leveling kit and if you go to 35's then a 2.5 lift would be perfect

Libba_lizard

Oh yes what is a leveling kit. Jeebus I feel like a dumb girl

It should be good im building my own lift and ima get a rubi take off dana 44 to run 37's and sleeve gusset it. My lift is going to be a 2.5 coils and a body lift with. Really long shocks so i have alot of droop
