Default Need advice 2015 jkus

So I want to lift my jk and I'm unsure what I want 2in or 4in and I think I want 33in tires or 35's "I don't want to loose to much miles per gallon" but I was wondering if I re gear my jeep right could I still get 16-19 mpg with 35's and 4 in lift? With let's say 4.11 or 4.27 gears or is this unrealistic. Also since my jeep is new should I pay the extra cash and get the mopar lift..."I don't want to void my warranty" or Is the warranty not worth keeping and should I void it and get a different aftermarket lift such as sky jacker? Thanks for any comments

I would go 2" regardless of if you want 33" or 35".
Just my honest opinion. I run 3" with 37s and flatties. Read the sticky by the dirtman on lifts. Very informative.

Stay away from skyjacker

35's and flats would be your best option, it will give you the look of a 4" lift and not mess with the handling or gas mileage. Push the wheels out a bit with some 4.5" bs wheels or wheel adapters and you will be good to go. A 4" lift properly done is gaining to cost you quite a bit and is not needed for 35's. Proper gearing will affect the mileage so check the charts and good luck with the new jeep.

You might want to check out jkfreaks.com as well as this forum as it has a bunch of Ohio guys on it and you can maybe join a meet and greet to check out some other rigs and learn more about your jeep and how suspensions work.
