Default question

I want just a little lift for my rubi so im thinking either just a leveling kit or a 2.5 inch spacer kit. what wouldbe better this is just for my DD.

If i do a 2.5 inch spacer kit will i need to get new front sway bars?

All i really wanna be able to do is run 33's

Whats my best bet?

Take a look at my album in my profile... Rubi unlimited with a leveling kit. I love it. It will be plenty for your 33's.

Just installed Teraflex leveling kit, $119.00 shipped. It was a really easy install and I'm no mechanic. Im running 305/60/17s and I think it looks great. Plenty of room for 33s.

You want your swaybar as close to level as you can get it. Some kits come with new rear links, then you move the stock rear links up front. May not be an issue with a 1 or 2 inch lift, but be sure to check how level it is after the lift.

(if you flex the front with really short links attached, you run the risk of flipping the swaybar around backwards and turning the links into pretzels. Quite a few pics of it on this site if you look around...)
