In the next year or so I plan on lifting my 2010 JKU and slapping some 35s under her.
I want to do this right (thats probably terrible wording) meaning that i want to have a fully functioning suspension with no rubbing and no or minimal modifications to the body.....I dont mind to work on the pinch seam but no fender cutting.
Keeping that in mind, can i get an idea of what you guys have spent building up your Jeeps for 35s.
I also plan on only moderate trail use, no rocks so don't think I'll need to beef anything up.
I'm not concerned about gearing at this time eaither...strictly what it will take to lift it correctly.
Thanks

 

I say I have about 2k in tires, rims, lift. I have a slight rub on extreme turns but that about it. I went the route of 1 3/4 spacer lift with a 2" BL. I have a 08 JKU. Hope this helps

 

$3100 in tires and lift. 2.5" RK Flex kit and 35" trail grapplers with level 5 strike wheels. No rubbing.

 

$12,500 for lift, wheels, & tires...

$8200 for a Teraflex 3" long arm with speed bumps & Elka shocks, drive shafts, putting my aftermarket skid plates, welding C-gussets, external front axle sleeve, and front control arm skids. Tax & install included in that price.

$4700 for 5 BFG KM2s 35" tires, 5 AEV Pintler Rims, and 5 OMF rock rings installed with 5 extra 'street' rings.

 

There's really cheap ways to put on 35's, and then there's more expensive ways. Both ways are functional and done right, but it all depends on your goals. The cost is going to vary wildly depending on what tires you want to pick out and what kind of lift kit you want.

 

Cool. I have pretty much the exact same setup and my price is very close. I don't feel so ripped off now :-)

 

Awesome guys, thanks fior the replies.
One more thing I need to add. This is my daily driver and I'll admit it sees more of the asphalt jungle than trails. I'm aiming to build it up in a way that doesn't compromise ride quality but at the same time keeps it very capable offroad. I'm in East Tennessee so won't be on the rocks or for that matter rarely anything more than moderate wheeling. With that in mind, I think the long arm kit and all the beefing up that i usually see associated with it is probably overkill for me. Don't get me wrong, I wish i had the money to do that but I'm looking at something more along the lines of what Devildoc and Echoshotz have going on.
I alos have wheels already so should just be looking at the lift, tires, and any stabilizers or miscellaneous brackets needed to run 35s the way i described.
Thanks again

 

Do it properly IMO means a coil lift, not budget boost spacers. Look at Teraflex 2.5" coil lift, either with new shocks or use the stock shocks with TF adapters. Then 5 tires, and a used $100 Procal. Will be around $2300

 

Wheels, tires, fox shocks, Full Traction srs 3" suspension, tire carrier for the rear, 3rd brake light. Parts, About $4k. That was the alignment too. I did the entire install.

 

2.5 coil lift with 5100s was 750 shipped... Installed myself with the help of the local jeep club.

My wheels and tires were 2200 installed from discount, including road hazard warranty, lifetime rotation and balance, etc

I sold my oem wheels for 200

I also had to buy a new driveshaft but that's bc I have a 2012, you won't need that for yours

Edit: oh yea and the procal
