When you have some time, browse through the FAQ's.

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/modified-tech-faq-answers-questions-every-newbie-has-18617/

That will give you some background on what size lift you'll want for 35's, what backspace you'll need on the new wheels (or spacers, if you plan on keeping stock wheels), etc.

Also check the Write-ups area

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-write-ups-39/write-up-index-quintessential-source-do-yourself-write-ups-42710/

for step by step install guides for a variety of lifts (assuming you'll be installing yourself?), etc.

Lots of good info to get you pointed in the right direction. And it will bring up many more questions for you to ask...

 

nothng will be instaled by me thanks for the help any idea about the rust??????

 

I haven't seen any posts concerning lifts rusting, but there have been a few for bumpers with weak powdercoating. (I don't recall the names of the companies, unfortunately)

You might try posting in the Staging Area for whichever part of Canada you're in. That should get you some feedback from people in your neck of the woods.

This was posted in another thread yesterday...

 

i did a 3.5" suspension lift and 35"s. they rubbed the stock bumper a smidge when turning hard in reverse. i don't know how a 2.5" lift would do. i guess if you have less than a 12.5" width you'd be o.k.

 

Nothing under the jeep will be untouched by rust after the first winter. I just rattle can every thing all the time. I don't think the lift will matter one way or the other, well if you're going to let the rust just sit there, then it will be more noticeable.

 

who makes a 3" lift ???? i do like rubicon express.......

 

I have the teraflex 3" with all adj. control arms, jks track bars, old man emu LT shocks floating my Jeep above 35" Mud grapplers. I would Pepsi challenge it against any 3" kit on the market.

 

One can learn a lot from the STICKYS
