Just bought my wife a 2wd 2007 JK Sahara Unlimited (stock everything). It'll be her daily driver to go to and from work (probably won't ever see much off-road). I want it to look tough though! I was thinking of getting the Rough Country 2.5" lift that has the coil spacers and shock relocation brackets to go with at least 33" tires and maybe some 35"s.

Any thoughts on this setup? I need wheels with around 4.5" of backspacing, right? Are there any extras I may need to go with the lift? (brackets, brake line extensions, etc?)

 

Just put the 2.5" rough country BB on my jeep with 31's. still plenty of room for more tire. also running the stock rims with no spacers and havent had any issues. didnt use the brake line extenders on the front but did put them on the rear. been wheeling a few times already and have had no probs with this lift. not sure about 35's though. hope this helps!

 

On my 2007 I ran the RC BB with 285/ 70-17 (31), you can run 33 easy. I had pro comp wheels with 4.5 back spacing. Didn't do brake extensions or anything else just the lift worked out great. Give Ben a call at rough country he will take care of you, he is on the forum.

 

Thanks for the info!
