Default 2 inch lifts

Anyone out there have a two inch lift that can post some pictures? I bought a two inch coil spacer kit and I'm trying to decide between 33, 34, and 35 inch tires. I don't want anything huge, just to look more aggressive.

If you go with only a 2" lift and do not extend your bump stops or trim the fenders, you will rub disconnected with anything more than a 33" tire. These are a wide 33" tire (about 32.5"x12") that rub.

Guy beside me had the 285/70R17 BFGs. Note mine are basically the same height, but wider. Note how the 305 width has much large tread blocks and larger voids. = better off-road in most cases.

x2 on the Rancho 2" system. Ride is awesome with the RS9000XL shocks. You'll end up with a little more than 2" and for me the 33's weren't quite enough (that's my silver JKU in the link). I had 33's on stock, then added the Rancho 2", then went to 35's a month later. 33's looked fine, but totally changes the look when you go to 35's.

Bottom line: Go w/ the 35's.

I have Rusty's 2" on the front of mine. I purchased the 2" coils from Rusty's in order to compensate for a heavy bumper and winch that caused a 3/4" additional sag on the factory rake. I netted 1 7/8" over stock and that is with the ARB Deluxe bumper and a 12k winch on the front. Not light by any means. The ride is as good or better than factory. I put them on my 2010 JKUR with 22k miles about 2 months ago and just put them on my 2013 JKUR with 20 miles and they ride great. No complaints. The only caution I will throw out there is that you will gain well more than 2" if you don't have an aftermarket bumper and or winch.

Take a look at our Facebook Page. The JK was running a Teraflex BB and 33's. Ton's of pictures before we put in the Rock Krawler X Factor Plus.
