Oh...and go 35's. You'll wish you had if you don't. (Trust me...that's where I am now. )
Ok. Soo I will just put in 35's without getting flat fenders or a lift. Then if it rubs I'll get a little body lift. Or suspension or something. I won't re gear right away but if it feels like it needs it then I will.

Thanks for all the help!

35" tires. Contrary to what admin says, stay away from body lifts for the JK - JK's hate body lifts.

really? are you speaking from personal experience here?

contrary to what Miknov has just declaired, i have installed and had run a 1" body lift on my jk for quite a while and my jk seemed to like it just fine. here is an installation write-up that i did to show you just how easy it is to install:

Go 35's. I went with 33's and now 4 months later I want 35's. Not sure if you have a good tire carrier, but something to think about if you go with 35's.

I'm running tramp stamp from psc northridge4x4 and custom 3rd led brake light. I don't have a tire carrier. When the time comes to get a tire carrier I'll make sure I get a good one

I know what I have on there is teraflex right now. Either 2 or 2.5. It might be a bb. Will that not work so well with 35's?

if you have a TF budget boost (coil spacers), you will have exactly 2.5" of lift. if you have their 2.5" coil lift, you will have just over 3" of actual lift. either way, you should be able to run 35's and with just minor rubbing at a full flex if running the spacers.

I think it's a spacer lift. But I'll take some pictures when I get a minute and post em up on here. It was already installed when I bought my jk used

like i said, even if you just have the spacer lift, you'll have 2.5" of lift. i've run 35's with them before and on pavement, you'll be fine but off road, you will see some rubbing when flexing. chopping your flares will take care of this.
