Default Getting a Lift soon help me decide

******UPDATE ON POST #31******



I plan on getting a lift for my JKU before the summer is over. My JK is a DD and plan on using it on some trails and beaches but mostly on the pavement. I also plan to add a Mopar Off-Road Rear Bumper and possibly the front or the RR XHD Stubby for the front. Tires are still stock but will upgrade to 33s or 35s with aftermarket wheels. Current springs are 15/16 Front and 58s in the Rear.

Just get the teraflex leveling kit for it, buy your shock of choice and a set of 33's. Perfect for daily driving. Same setup I'm running.

A 2.5" BB Lift would be a good one to get, for DD that will be mostly on the pavement.

Can you run a 2.5 with everything else stock including wheels?

Yes. You can run the lift by itself. I like the look of the more level stance of the tf leveling kit. It's more dramatic than you think. Parked next to a stock jku and my jeep is way taller. But not obnoxious.

How much are you willing to spend and how big of a lift do you really want ? What size tires would you want to run?

1.5 - 2.5 on the lift
No more than $500 on lift kit
