how much lift/flex do you need to do this can a stock jk get that high before the rear tire wants to come off the ground

After doing it for the first time this weekend, I can tell you that disconnecting your sway bar is a must and you need to be climbing wide tires - at least 12.50s. If you are climbing 33s, then you will probably be ok stock. I doubt you could climb 35s.

my buddy has a tj with 4" long arm 1" spacers on 33x12.50s im sure he can get on mine but i wasnt sure if i could get that much travel out of my stock JK with 2" budget boost. Im on a 305x65x17 so we are about the same size tire just wanted some in put on if it would make it.... Im waiting on shocks so i dont extend my stock shocks too far but as soon as i get them we are going to try it

Honestly it's not the flexed out side I would be worried about, it's the side climbing the tire. A friend of mine that has a 2.5" spacer lift got flexed out this weekend and his compressed coil was completely compressed - I mean FLAT!! On mine with a standard coil and shock 2.5" lift, I still had some room to go on my springs. So be careful doing it with spacers and don't park it there long.

My 33 climbing a 35. But had some trouble and was nervous to hit his jeep so we added a log to get better traction and my tire up higher. Try that. It made it much easier to do.
