Default Need help with upgrades.

I want to bump up my susp on my new jku. I only want to run 33's. so what is the best of the best as far as lifts/ spacers to get good clearance and best look? It's my fourth jeep build so I know I don't want 35s or bigger. I just want great ride, looks and quality.

I went with a 2.5" teraflex budget boost, comes with coil spring spacers and shock extenders so the factory ride remains. It was really affordable and gave me clearance for 35"s so it would be more than enough for 33"s.

Check out our 2" SPORT system.
RS66109BR9

Easily run 33's, and folks run 35's as well.

Made in the USA too.
An album with JK's with this system:

Skinny 33"s and spacers on a TF 2.5" coil to give you an idea.

Lots of 2in BB to choose from which will work great. Spacers on stock coils help maintain the same stock ride. If you're going 33s w/ stock wheels get a good set of wheel spacers like spidertrax 1.5in.

A 3 link long arm with coil over and air bumps, or some ori's. Double triangulated 4 link if you want to run a fuel cell.
A lift is a lift, the looks of you jeep wont change between two different manufacturers at the same height.

You asked for the best of the best dickhead. I could have suggested rough country or another pos cheap lift but if this is your fourth jeep you should know you don't even need a lift to run 33's. If you must have a lift pick up some pucks from synergy and be done with it.

I pretty much trust anything Dirtman says when it comes to suspension. I just wish I had his damn fab skills.
