Default Max Spring lift without changing control arms

I'm wondering whats the most amount of lift you can do to a Rubicon without having to install longer control arms

What else besides springs and shocks did you have to change?

You would definitely need longer brake lines or brackets with 4". Also, adjustable track bars and/or brackets should really be installed. And, without adjustable lower front control arms (or relocation brackets) I can almost guarantee you will have a very "flighty" driving Jeep.

I personally would stop at around 2 1/2", and still plan on adjustable lower control arms and trck bar/brackets.

I'm currently running a 2 1/2 spacer lift with a drop down bracket for the rear sway bar. I have recently purchased 3 1/2 inch lifted springs and 3 inch longer shocks, so I want to make sure I have all the parts I require before I start ripping it apart to run my new 35's
