Default Two Door Rubicon lift

Just picked up a new 2 door rubicon yesterday. Ive got a lot planned as far as mods and upgrades go but i want to make sure i do it right the first time. I plan on running 35s and although this is not my full time daily driver, it will see the highway more than it will see the trail. I really only get the chance to play with my toys a few times a month. I want the best lift setup for highway/around town driving but also something thats fully capable offroad and able to withstand moderate abuse. Ive heard good things and bad things about every lift and just wanted an up to date consensus on whats out there. Thanks

I have a 2 door rubi as well and went with the Tereflex 2.5" coil and shock lift, with 35's. Runs smooth on and off road, no regrets.

Default Completely Agree

TF 2.5" coil is the best way to go. Just got mine on, drives like stock, only higher and better!

I as well have the TF 2.5" coil and have no regrets whatsoever. IMO it rides better than stock!

The TF 2.5 lift is great, but you could also go with just their leveling kit and flat fenders to keep a low center of gravity with 35's. Works well on the highway for my 50 mile daily commute, as well as for rock crawling.




(I have 33.5's at the moment, but they're getting upgraded to 35's as soon as possible )

I did all my research and decided to go for the TF 2.5 Coil lift with shocks on my 2dr Rubi as well. I cant comment on it until i get it on this weekend but from everything ive read, people love it.

So a 3 or 3.5 inch would be overkill for 35s? I want to make sure I have good ground clearance and not catch any plastic when I turn deep.

I too have a 2.5" TF coil lift (the 4 door lift) for my 2 dr Rubicon., along with an adjustable front track bar. I just have not had the time to install it. Hopefully next month I'll do it up...

Can't wait though.
