Default What Lift Are You Running On Your 2 Door Rubicon?

I just purchased a new 2013 Rubicon 2 door. I am curious as to what lift everyone is running on theirs? I had a 3" BDS on my Sahara Unlimited which performed awesome but due to the shorter wheel base I am a little concerned with the 2 door and the drive shaft issues. Post some pics and share your opinions! I am looking at the 2.5" Teraflex with shock adapters and coil springs as I like the way my Rubicon rides.

2010 2 door rubi

2.5" Tera Flex (4dr lift) Bilstein 5100 shocks + RC 3/4 coil spacers - total lift is around 4"

Rides great. I have geometry correcting brackets for the front oem control arms... but I have not yet installed them.

I don't have any pics since the 3/4" coil spacer install, but here it is with just the 2.5" TF lift.

do yourself a favor and get the heavy duty front track bar from TF too... it's perfect. one more note, I have my track bar re-torqued by the dealer with every oil change... 1. security on my end 2. keeps the dealer happy with my lift - they are good with my warranty since I am having them keep an eye on the suspension.

Planning to go with either 35" tires or install the 1" body lift I have and go with 37" tires this fall.

First things first what are you planing on doing with your rig, is it strictly a pavement pounder or will it see the trails, what size tire are you wanting to run
