I'm looking for a simple inexpensive lift for the 37 inch wheels i got for my JK. It needs to be high enough to except 37's, upgradable, and functionable to still off road until i can afford better. Please help

 

What's your budget? You could trim your fenders, go with a 2.5" budget boost and 1-1.5" body lift should clear 37s with little or no rub at full turn.

 

My suggestion is too keep saving and do it right the first time. You will end up spending more in the long run if you go cheap to start with. There's also a lot more that you need to consider when going up to 37s besides just a lift.

 

Around 500 bucks is my current budget

 

with that budget I dont see full use of 37s any time soon. Save your money and do it right look into Rock Crawler 3.5 and metalcloak 3.5 they are pricey but its one and done.

 

Ditto, save and do it right the first time, metalcloak might be overkill for your purposes, but RK kit, 4" teraflex may suit you perfectly

 

So what else is needed for 37's? The minimum

 

What trim in your jk? 4dr? 2dr? Sahara? Rubicon? Sport?

 

37s are rough on the steering and stock lockers. If you have a dana 30 you will probably want to sleeve and gusset the front axle. Also gearing starts to play a big factor. Not sure what you have for gears at the moment. I went for a cheap lift at first and its worked out perfectly fine. I have since added a few components it lacked, but i can see where they say save and research first. I should have waited as i am soon looking to get rid of my current lift. I uses a zone offroad lift also if you wanted to look that route.

 

If it's all for looks, you can get by with just a lift. If you're going to offroad, you will want to sleeve & gusset your front axle. Also need to look into regearing and an aftermarket tire carrier just to name a few things.
