Thumbs up 4" lift

I have a 07 wrangler and i'm looking for a good lift kit. I want to run 33's, but still want the smooth factory ride. This jeep will probably be on road more than off. I am really not a fan of spacers and would like to put a 4" spring kit on it. What brand and kit will give me the best ride and cost? Needing advice. THX, PT

4" is way too much lift for 33s. You can fit 37s on most 4" lifts. I have a 4" Superlift with 35s and I look at it sometimes and even they look small. If you really want 33s consider a 2" lift, maybe a budget boost, something much smaller than 4. If you want to run a 4" lift its theres often a lot more involved than just the lift. Drive shafts, adjustable control arms, gears, etc....

Heres a couple pics of mine on 35s with the 4" Superlift.

Like everyone else has said...

If you want a 4" lift, run a 35" tire. 33's just look too small with 4" lift.

If you want to run a 33" tire, do a 2-2.5" lift.

Either way, I think you will be happy.

This is what it looked like with 35s.....
Stock Fenders


Xenon Fenders



I cant imagine 33s on it even with stock fenders
Were you rubbing at all with the stock fenders? Nice looking JK...although I think I think I like the look of the stock fenders, weird right, but if it rubbed it had to go!

Here is my 4" lift with the stock rubi tires they are equal to a 32" tire. Probably look into a 2.5 or 3" lift unless you decide to go with 35" tires.

this is what my sahara looks like with stockers and a 4".. i like the look of a big lift with some room for flex.. ya i could stuff 37s in there.. but i like to have flex and i dont feel like messing with gears.. so 33s are the tires goin on first.. but either way.. 33s will fit without a lift.. the 2.5" lift from RC is awesome too.. i had it for a while.. PLENTY of tire room..
