Also...something to consider...the Teraflex leveling kit is only about $120 and allows you to fit something just a little larger under your Jeep for not a lot of $$$. They claim anywhere between a 33-34" tire with the kit on the TF site.

Lifting your jeep a couple of inches on spacers is REALLY cheap. Try Rough country spacer kit or teraflex. At the very least I wuold recomend the leveling kit. These kits can be installed in your driveway with 2 decent jack stands and a good floor jack. They are not hard. Before I bought my Jeep, I didnt even change my own oil. Now I have installed a lift, installed additioner spacers to level, installed bumpstop extensions, installed skid plates, changed my own oil and changed my diff fluid. Point is you may think you cannot do it but you can.

Oh wow thanks alot... I didn't know I could lift my JEEP at all for that cheap... But it says the teraflex one lifts the front 2" and the back 1"... Will it be noticeable that the front is lifted more than the back?? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but Im just wondering, and i'm trying to learn all I can from you guys.

The jeep has a rake from the factory which means the front sits lower than the rear. This is to improve there MPG ratings and most people think it looks ugly. Most JK lift kits lift the front more than the rear to elimate this rake because most people do not like it. Your jeep will look 1000x better with a small spacer lift that eliminates the rake.

Oh alright, now I finally get that... Well I could afford the teraflex lift right now, but not the tires yet... Will putting the lift in before the tires make my jeep look funny, or should I just wait until I can put both on at the same time??
