Have a 2010 rubicon 2 door and looking for a lift. I plan to put no larger than 35" tires on it at some point. Or possibly just keeping stock wheels and getting the largest tire that will fit on that rim. I'm planning on doing some serious wheeling but nothing too crazy like j used to in my dedicated crawler. The jeep is also a daily driver so I want something dual purpose with good travel and handling characteristics. Any opinions on the mopar 2" lifts good bad? Old man emu, tera flex etc? I have a warn steel bumper with a 12 warn winch up front and have the saggy front, she needs a lift! Plan on adding some more steel all around down the road.

 

Why not try out the rock krawler 1.5" coils? Sounds like it would do what you're looking for.

 

Welcome to the forum!

You could run our 2.5" kit or our 1.5" coil leveling kit. If you order the 4DR version for your 2DR, you will get about an extra 1/2" for free. Both kits can reuse your stock shocks or replacements.

 

I'm looking for something with more flex than stock. Possibly a short arm kit. I just don't want to cut and weld things, or replace shafts! I've eye balling the Tera flex and old man emu kits. I do like the mopars with the fox shocks but that is not necessary I don't think. The teraflex 4 door kit in what length would do all of that? And what do the cost?

 

Teraflex has known sagging issues, but they will replace the coils. Search the for sale section and you'll see folks moving off of those kits to ones without the sag.

Mopar- mopar kits are pieced together and depending on what height you get, there are different manufacturers that they source their parts from. Sometimes TF, sometimes skyjacker, you get the point.

Short arm is where you want to be at that height.....no need for cutting and welding. You'll honestly be looking at probably just coils, shocks, brake line extensions (rear), bumpstops for tires, adjustable track bars later down the road......longer sway bar links up front.

Rock krawler has a thread on their 1.5" kit with some pictures to give you an idea of what you've got to work with. Go read through the various member's lift threads and see the complaints associated with each brand.

 

You can run the 2.5" 4dr kit and combine it with some adjustable control arms. The #1251000 2.5" kit w/shocks is $768.99 and the 8 Flexarm kit is $1270.99. Now that really is overkill, you do not need to replace all the control arms for a 2.5" and you can get a 2.5" kit that allows you to reuse your stock shocks (#1352000).
