Default First time Jeep Owner and need Help!!!!!

Just got a 2015 JKU and i'm new to the forum. I am planning to get 315/70/17 Duratracs on Mickey Thomsons. I am looking for suggestions on what lift to get, 2" or 2.5 and what brands? What else would I need to order? Any direction would be great.... Thanks all

The thread stuck to the top of this modified area is a good place to start. Get a handle on the problems lifting causes, and the various components and what they do.

Come up with a budget, and decide what your end goal is. (Are you building for offroad crawling, just something to add a little height to run bigger tires, or ??) Have you been on any local trails? Might be a good idea to try a few before ever even looking at aftermarket parts.

Brand recommendations? Fill in some info on budget, current usage, projected future usage, etc.
