Are you going spacers only or are you doing any body lifting?

Check out the faqs at the top of the modified forum. Lots of good info re lifts/tires



Q: What is the biggest size tire I can fit on my stock Jeep JK Wrangler?
A: The largest tire size that the factory recommends is a 255/75R17 (which comes standard on Rubicon models) or a 32x10.50. However, there are many Jeep JK Wrangler owners who are currently running as big as 285/70R17 or 33x10.50's with little to no rubbing issues.

I am not looking on lifting the body, just the suspension a bit with spacers. my budget is low so i prefer to get some good 32s, 33s instead of the whole lift kit.

I saw rough country offers a 2.5" spacers kit for $135, but i asked in a 4x4 store in Houston and they tolde me i need the coils and shocks for this amount on lift, so wanted to check on with you guys if this is true, i might only get then a 1 3/4" lift if 2.5" is not recommended.

You will not gain off road performance with a spacer lift only. Since the tire size you want to run fits with no lift. Consider saving your $$$ for something else.

Good luck! These decisions about our jeeps are tough.

There are alot of people with that lift. I think you will be just fine. They are prob wanting to get you to spend more. That lift comes with everything needed to make it work. Its not the best, but it will work without any problems. You could even run 35s with that lift.
