Default Wrangler rookie from Az!

Hey all,
After years of saying I wanted a Jeep I finally pulled the trigger! I'm out in Az. Got a 2013 jku with a Smittybilt bumper, Bulldog winch and a BL with 35s from the dealer. Just gotta get the suspension lift figured out now!

Default Question about your lift

Thanks, Croce. It looks like you have the lift I'm looking at (TF 2.5" coil). I've also got a bumper/winch but only a BL from the dealer even tho it's on 35s. Do you have anything else (spacers, shocks, etc.)? The rep from TF said if I do the lift and a 1" front spacer I could get a level ride like I want, but I see guys without the spacer who are happy with their rides and they seem level. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's the TF 2.5" kit with shocks and an adjustable trackbar. I don't have any spacers or leveling kits installed either, the front is slightly lower than the rear due to the bumper/winch combo but not enough to bother me or cause any problems. (side photo attached)

Welcome. Another Zonie here, I have a 2.5 AEV kit with 315/70/17s. . I added ¾ spacers to level out after adding winch/bumper. Still have a little rake. Probably could have gone 1in, no biggie though.

Here are a handful,of videos on key mods, including suspension, that might help.
