Default 2 inch lift advice

My wife has a 2009 2dr Rubicon and I've been trying to convince her to let me lift it. We cant go too high because we tow it behind our motorhome. With that said, I have her convinced into the lift as long as it does ruin the ride and handling. I only was to lift it 2 inches and put 33's on it on aftermarket rims. I know that 33's will fit without a lift but I hate the look of a 4X4 with the max. tire size stuffed under the wheel wells. So, with all I hear of the dreaded death wobble, which lift can you guys recommend that doesnt produce the death wobble? After convincing her into the lift, I dont want to hear any "I told you so's" about the lift.

works for my 33's.

you will rub on full turn unless you get spacers or are not using stock wheels.

IMO, go with a TF 2.5" BB... Best bang for the buck with AWESOME customer service. I've been running mine since feb and love it... HUGE fan of TF!

I'd say go with the teraflex performance leveling kit.

I'm using teraflex leveling kit. 33s look great in there.

Nice looking Jeep. Did you have to use wheel spacers with those tires?
