Technically you don't need to lift at all for 33" tires, just get spacers for your stock rims, or new rims with 4.5" backspacing.

I know at one point someone had posted what all of the spring numbers were, might try a search to see. I'm not sure what ones to use to level the Jeep...I'm one of those crazy people that actually like the slight rake it has from the factory.

Is it the same as someone doing a real 2" lift, no. Was it worth the effort? Hell yes (for me anyway). It's basically the same procedure as a budget boost install and I learned a ton doing it myself. If I do throw on a lift (springs or BB) I'll be that much faster for having got this under my belt already.

All the info you need is here, regarding different spring numbers: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...rings-Question

By the way... 500th post!

sure, you will definitely see more lift on a 2-door with 4-door rubi coils and if you really got as much as 2" when all was said and done, what can i say, more power to you. i personally have not seen it and for me, it wouldn't be worth the effort. but, that's just me.

So, I now have before and after pictures to prove my point and provide guidance for others who have the chance to move up even 1 number. Bear in mind that I have the XHD bumper with an XRC-10 winch with steel cable (lots of weight, )

Before, with the 16's, right at 24 and 11/16"



After, with 17's, right at 25 and 1/8"





So yes there is a difference in going up just 1 coil number. If you have the stock bumper then you can expect to see more gain than what I picked up since I have easily 150lbs sitting on the front of my Jeep.
