Great info, thank you for it. I really wish I knew all of this before I lifted. Can't go back now! LOL

I think I have read this thread at least a dozen times plus a lot of other research. Based on what I've learned here I'm going with a teraflex 2.5 coil lift with 33's maybe 35's. That is going to give me more than what I will need for the trails I am going to be running. Thanks for all the great advice guys.

skip the 33's and go right to 35's lol. reading this thread over and over makes me wish I would have not wasted money on 33's and instead went with flat fenders, my 2" lift and 35's.

Leaning towards the 35's but my buddy's 2010 has 33 and he was saying save some money for other stuff and go with the 33's to start and go bigger later if need be. My other buddy with 37's on his said for around our area 33's would be a good starter, 35's will get me in trouble thinking I can make it. LOL

I must say this thread is great and the original post should be a must read to join forum. Also should be a pop up for anyone who types in the words "which lift should I". Lol

I agree that for the wheeling that the majority of people who own a Jk will be doing that 35's and 2.5" lift is plenty.

100% agree
