Traded in My 04 Disco II for a 2010 Wrangler Sport last week and I don't know where to begin. I put on Smittybuilt rock rails today, but I can't decide on the Lift. I'm looking at a 3" spacer or a Rough Country 4" suspension. I think I want to do 35's, but 33's are still an option I just really do not want to get into the driveshafts and other bigger mods. I don't plan on doing too much offroad, but I do live at the beach and would occasionally like to mess around on the trails. I'm really just trying to get a good look with some ability. Are there issues with driveshafts at 4"? will 35's be too much for the stock gears/trans? And pretty much any other advice or suggestions anyone has......

I have 08 4dr. sahara I put = to 33/12.50/16 and over drive was just about usless, I got a set of 4.88s and could not be happier. I am running 2.5 coil lift and still want it a bit higher though. If you arent doing much off roading I would think stock drive shafts would be ok with 4" max lift. There are others on here more knowledgeable than me I only know what my friend and I have run into on our jk's.
