Question JK Wrangler X (what lift to get)

Hello all. New to JK's (But who isn't). I want to lift my Wrangler X but don't want to do any major drive line work IE. New drive shafts, lower the t case etc.. I want to do it inexpensively (being a daily driver) and run 33 or (hopefully) 35's. Would appreciate any input/insight you all my have.
Thanks

Mike

Default lift

I did 2 inch superlift on the front only.... It seems to be only 1/4 inch higher in front.... Mine sagged alot in front ... Winch bumper and winch on order and should level it out....... 33 inch tires going on tomorrow... The lift was so easy and all I did was re center the steering and no alignment was needed... I think it really handles and rides better............. Good luck with yours!!!

Do you have any pictures? I am really considering a 3" Full Traction Economy kit to run 35's and would like to see how yours looks as compaird to the 3' with 35" tires.

i have the 285/75 16 buckshot mudders on. did level it out better than stock, front slightly lower than rear. think a winch and new bumper would probably lower it more with the added weight.

Rustys 2" spring lift with Skyjacker hydro shocks. Great ride, leveled it out even with the LoD bumper and Powerplant winch. Cost effective. Install was very easy.
