I think the difference is only in the tires. my 33's measure to just about 32"...If you were to toss some larger tires on there I think you'd be good to go.

Great ride w/ good off road performance!

That looks great! What are the measurements of your tires? I know they are 33's, but I'm kind of a tire dummy.

Karl, I run down and measure that for you in just a bit

This is a really nice look, especially if its a daily driver, have you noticed any fuel economy fall off going with the leveling kit and 33's?

Mine drop a mpg or so that's all. I love it. I'm adding more parts to my suspension for strength. If I can't get the flighty feel out with just air pressure and the project jk specs then I'm adding lower arms as well.

Would it make sense to put some new shocks in while I am installing the leveling kit? I am just trying to think ahead for the future, and since a 3.5 inch lift and 35's aren't in the realistic future, I want the best bang for my buck.

If you get a 3.5" lift, will it set level then or can you add a leveling kit to it to make it level?

Some awesome feedback. Thanks guys!

A couple of small last min questions:

Tera-flex makes a leveling kit with bushings (or are those called pucks?) and one with springs. Which would be better and why?

Also, I'm looking at 16in MB 72 wheels with 285/75/16 Wrangler Duratracs. Can I run those with the leveling kit without problems or do I need wheel spacers?

Thank you.

So, just getting a 3.5" lift wont level it?
