Default 2010 JK Lifts; 2-Doors Only! Let's See 'Em!

I'm trying to do as much research as possible before I get a lift on my jeep. I'd love to see everyone's lifts. I'd like to keep it as specific to my jeep as possible (2010 2-Door Sahara) so I can get a better idea of what my exact jeep will look like with the lift I choose. If you can, specify your year, model, lift brand, lift height, and any other specs that'll be helpful. Plus, I just love seeing pics of all the jeeps out there! Thanks in advance!!

...also, if you could tell me the size tires and wheels you have on your rig, that'd be pretty helpful as well. Post those pics!!

Just an FYI, all lifts will be compatible and look the same for 2007-2013 JK's... The only thing that changes (as far as i'm aware) for 2012 and 2013's, is the need for exhaust spacers for larger lifts. Don't quote me, but under 3 inches of lift, everything is exactly the same. Some coil lifts have options for 2 door and 4 door, some are just universal and may yield 3" on a 4 door and 4" on a 2 door.

Mine is a 2013 JK Sport with 2.5" Teraflex budget boost (with shock extentions) and 35x12.5x15 BFGoodrich KM2's on 15x8 MB TKO wheels. If you post up a budget, wheeling plans, daily driving habits, we can surely give you some direction if you would like.

Dude, your rig is SICK! Love it. Alright, this is where I'm at... This is my daily driver, so I gotta try to find the best of both worlds. Ideally, I'd like something that's smooth on the road without giving up gas mileage, handling, etc. that would also allow me to go anywhere I wanted or needed off road. I know there's no perfect solution, but I'd like to get as close as possible. I'm on 3.73 gearing, and I'm thinking that'll have to change, but not sure what to go up to. That said, the wheels and tires I'm eyeballing are M/T Baja MTZ tires in a 315/70R17 (35") on the M/T Classic III Black wheels in 17x9.

Here's my 2010 rubi with a 2.5" lift and 35" Bfg Mud Terrains. I really recommend going with a good 2.5" lift if its going to be your daily drive

That sits up really nice! Are those 15" wheels? What 2.5" lift did you go with? Any ground clearance issues in deeper ruts??

I went with a 2.5" teraflex lift with bilstein shocks. The ride is excellent. I also went with a 1" body lift because I was concerned that the rear tire would hit the pinch seam in the back, but there was not issue at all with that. So I will probably take the body lift off and add some flat bushwacker flares. Also, I have had zero issues with any deep ruts or clearance problems.
