If Runnin is down near Eden Prairie sometimes then yea I think I see him fairly often lol.
No the lift was on his 2012 before. Yeah it's misconceiving that you can actually fit 35's on his 2.0 lift. The MTRs are actually 34.1 inches mounted and weight of the jeep on them with 28 psi of air.
But I think on street only so if you were looking for Offroad with 35's the 2.5 would be my choice.
If your considering 33's now and 35's later I'd go with a 2.5

I'm pretty set on 33's for at least the next few years, till it's paid off and no longer a daily driver. Think I'm going to go with the leveling kit (2" in the front and 1" in the rear). It's cheap and I know I'd just end up replacing whatever lift i get now in a few years with something much bigger and better anyway.

Least thats my thinking tonite lol.

I agree if your set with 33's for awhile I'd roll with a 2 inch BB and fig out later your next step.
Maybe throw on a set of armored diff covers with lube locker gaskets

Steelgrave now all you have to decide is which kit? And what kind spacers or springs and what rate for the springs if you go that route. Your head can be spinning here soon!

I went with the Teraflex leveling kit and swapped out my coils for a set of 18/59's from a JKUR. netted me about 2.5" over stock and was only about a $275 total investment. definitely enough room for 35's with my setup and its a simple install.

It's been spinning more from indecision than anything, why it's still stock heh.

Runnin-low I believe going South on the East river road by the park there on the east side of the road, sometime in the afternoon?

Yes there are some people that just don't wave when pasting another Jeep and I figure they don't know the Jeep wave yet?

Have a nice week-end to all
