It's a 2011 Sahara. You could see what I've done so far. In the mean time Ok4wd has the hemi for my installation, we're just waiting for the trans.
Do to a disability I can't go too high with a lift so would like a few recommendations for lift height that'll fit 35's nicely (currently have 2" coil spacers with 33's). Also not looking for serious rock crawling because of it being my only vehicle. I prefer mud and exploration.
Also what, if anything, should I do with the fender flares.
I have my ideas but would love to check out other opinions.

And side note: my wife says I can do whatever the heck I want to it :-) She has a Nissan Rogue so its no skin off her back.

 

Hello and greetings to a fellow New Jersey resident! haha

2.5-3.5" lift would be ideal for 35's and look great. 3.5" with flat flares and 35's might look a little small (gap between the tire well). That being said, perhaps 2.5" would be sufficient. There are a lot of great lifts out there, but do you want the whole 9 yards or just the basics? You can go with the Teraflex kit with shocks, I believe thats 2.5". I have the AEV 3.5" SC kit and can't say enough about it. Do you want lower control arms with it too? Want coil spacers like you have now or longer spring and shocks? Rock Krawler's kits are all upgradeable and interchangeable so-to-say, so thats a good route if you happen to get their lift and then decide you wanna upgrade and/or swap out something.

Possibilities are endless with this stuff. You're best bet I guess is go onto Quadratec or Northridge4x4 or any other vendor and do your research and go from there.

 

Sorry i'm a bit off topic but those eyelids look awesome! Where did you get them? Your rig looks awesome too by the way

 

I'm aiming towards the 3.5 lift. I like the idea of being able jog stuff around as you say is possible with the RK brand. My old jeep had Old Man Emu lift but wasn't completely sold on it. I also had the same opinion regarding those flat flares- they do look good but figured the space between tire and flare would he too much, especially since I'm not gonna pull the sway bar links for heavy crawling. Also not crazy about the bushwacker rivet look. But who knows, I may do the 2.5 with flat flares.
Yeah I tend to wonder over to quadratec quite a bit.
The money I spent on them this past year has been ridiculous! Tube doors with color matching panels, everything you see in the pic, powerboards (still need to get put on), headlamp kits, off road lights (also waiting to be installed) and who knows what else is in my storage.
The problem I have is that I'm always second guessing. It took me about 2 weeks to decide on that bumper.
Oh and those eyelids I got from quadratec as well. But in order to angle them down, you have to cut away abut to fit.

 

well, do what you gotta do and look at whatever catches your eye. When you seem to hit a wall or have questions, come on back and ask; as that's what we are all here for...

happy hunting...and try not to go too broke....

 

Where are you at? In Jersey? I need some trail guys to go out with. It's been some time since I had my last jeep and went out.

 

I'm from East Hanover... right next to Morristown. There isn't too much to do around our neck of the woods that's "legal", so it's kinda hard ya know? Only place somewhat close is the Pine Barrens. Next is Rausch Creek, but that is close to 3 hours west in PA.

 

Well if you're at all interested in taking a day down to the Barrens let me know. Thinking of taking my wife down tomorrow. She's never been.
