Lift Kit Questions
Hey everyone I have a 2008 Jk Wrangler X 2DR. I was looking to put on 33" Tires and raise it around 3.5". This is my daily driver. I put about 70 miles a day on it going back and forth to NYC on highway and beat up local roads. On the weekends I do take this wheeling so there is a real need for 33's and a lift kit. I want some advice on who to get from and what kind of lifts. I also noticed many lift kits had only the coils. If i get a kit that only includes coils i also have to buy new shocks as well? And what is the difference between short arm and long arm kits. I want to stay away from body lifts and do a suspension lift. Im new to the jeep world so all advice is welcomed.

IM0 3.5" is to tall for a two door JK. The ride will suffer at that height.
