Okay so I've got a jku with a rc 2.5 bb. I'm about to order the rc 4 inch lift. Will I be able to leave the 2.5 on there or not?

 

I say it depends on also what size tires your trying to run. I have 5" of lift and my 37's clear fine and its a bit of a jump to get in and I'm just shy of 5' 11". Most guys are runnin 3.5"-4" lifts and running up to 37's no problem. I vote keep the low center of gravity and less money on having to change all the stuff that goes with going that high. I'll also say gusset the track bar brackets if you havent yet. I broke the front one stock and the rear one post suspension and tires. My two cents.

 

6.5" of lift is fine if you plan to run 38's or 40's.

You're jeep will look funny with dinky tires if you run smaller with that much lift. I run about 6" of lift with 38's. It's almost too much room.

 

Okay well I've got the 2.5 but it doesnt seem big... At all I just don't feel like 4 inches will be " huge" either. I'm 6'3 and only 20 so getting in and out of the jeep isn't a problemo. My jeep just seems small and I don't like that:(

 

it doesn't seem big, because 2.5" is not big. Unless you are trying to fit 38-40" tires, there is no need to go 6.5" of lift. I have 4.5" and 37's. If you are going to offroad your jeep, you should keep the low center of gravity and only do the 4" lift and maybe later, if you stil don't like that, then do a 1" body lift.

It is not about being "huge" (atleast not offroading). The higher you lift the JK, the higher risk you have to roll over on the trail and on the road. Higher you lift, there are also more and more things you need to modify, which means more money out of your pocket

Not trying to rip on you, but since you are only 20, I think you are young and may be looking for some "cool" factor having a "huge" Jeep, which there is nothing wrong with that. But you should be smart about what you want to do. Take your time, read, and listen to these people's opinions. Now if you looking to just drive in on the road and be a Mall Crawler, then you do what you want and go as high as you want and as far as your money will take you.

 

As another 21 year old, i agree with this man. Thankfully i am a cheap schmuck and don't rush into most things.

You should do what i did, i just purchased a Rock Krawler 2.5" Suspension lift with bilsteins and RC discos for $830 shipped. Should net me about 3" and i can fit 35s.

Go to a suspension lift from the BB.

 

upgrade your tires first before you add more lift. Try 35's the see if it looks better.

 

I don't offroad so I don't care about the whole center of gravity thing

 

If you want 6 inches of lift do it. Just check out threads to see what parts you need to have to be safe. You could always install the coil lift and whatever tires your going to, if any, and see if you like it then add bigger tires or add the BB or a BL as stated. Just do it safely and remember the bigger you go, the more stuff needs to be replaced or adjusted.
