finally lifting my JKUR, way longer than i wanted to wait.

going with the rough country 3.5'' kit, 35'' toyo's w/ matching spare, using the stock Willy's wheels, 1.5'' spacers. will add the exhaust extension, adjustable track bar and few misc things to finish it off.

need to look into tire carrier option for the 35s. wasn't planning on running toyo but i get a set of MT's 5 for $900 so didn't want to pass it up.

 

Cannot wait to see the finished product and how you like the ride.

 

Good luck with the rough country, you will end up spending much more then the lift cost to ix the problems it creates with ride quality and handling. A simple search will bring up thread after thread of issues with that company. They are famous for sagging coils and leaking shocks. They will warrantee but do you really want the hassle?

 

I second this, get a quality lift(Rock krawler, metal cloak, rubicon express etc..) if shocks aren't in your budget just run shock extensions for the time being. Also 3.5" plus spacers is a heck of a lift.. The handling will be HORRIBLE.

 

by spacers im talking wheel spacers

 

so now i am looking at the rubicon express lift. 3.5'' and doing bilsitens all around. would this be a better and less troublesome lift to run?

 

Not a big fan of RE springs either, they sag too. Don't buy cheap....if budget is the issue then move down to a quality 2.5in lift, you will probably net the same amount of lift as a cheap 3.5in lift.

 

RE is not a bad lift though if you can wait and save more money then I suggest getting the best like AEV, Teraflex, and Rock Krawler and OME.

 

If you're not wanting to get into a new rear bumper check out MORryde. Do a search I have heard good things and it's what I'm planning on doing. Sounded like that was a question you had. Just one of many options.
