First you really should decide on what size tires you want to run, 3" lift will fit 35's, you can run most 33's on your stock system.

38's are pushing the stock rubicon axle's strength. But you can fit 38's with a 4" lift, and some trimming. Or if you want s tall lift 6".

Either of which you should look at full suspension systems to lift your jeep correctly.
Upper and lower control arms, track bars, bumpstops, longer brake lines, pitman arm, track bar brackets, etc. No short cuts if you want a good ride.


At that point I would look at short arm kits and long arm

ultimate short arm kit

Long arm kit

thanks and this would be everything i would need for 37s?

Just keep in mind that you will need to do "trimming" to fit 37" tires and in my opinion more tirmming to fit 38's on a 4" lift depending on what brand you go with since some are higher than others.

I would be thinking about a 6" long arm kit if I was thinking about 38" tires.

Yes, minus shocks. If you want to keep it low and run 37's. I would run the 3" premium plus and save a boat load of money.

I'm running 3" of lift with 37's, I couldn't be happier. Sorry if I'm confusing you.

Rubicon2010 May 26, 2010 03:04 PM

You should really call Dave and talk all this over. He'll put you on the right track.
