Thinking of raising my JK higher. Probably gonna go with a Teraflex 2.5 Coil Lift and 35's. I have an auto tranny and I have already checked into getting 5:13's
installed. My question is what should I do first as I am going to have to travel about 80 miles to get gears done. What order lift, tires/wheels and gears. Right now I have a 2" BB and 32 Rubi tires. Let me know you guys thoughts on this.

 

I would say you have it in the right order

 

So I should install lift, then tires wheels and finally gears?

 

There is no need to worry about the gears before lift and tires, it's not going to kill it without gears. I am running 4.10's now with 35's. Eventually going to regear but not just yet

 

I agree, do the lift and tires at the same time, then gears.

 

yeah...i have 35s with 3.21 gearing in my 6 spd which is far from ideal, but its liveable. i would say to get the lift and hold of on the gears for now. With the auto, you should be fine driving with the overdrive off. i found i get better gas mileage when i stay in 5th gear on the highway rather than keep it in 6th

 

Thanks guys

 

Getting the lift and tires done first will make you 80 mile drive home a lot more pleasant,
specially because you will need to take it easy during the gears break-in period.

 

I agree with this I ran 35s for about two years, now i have 37s and haven't regeared yet, so you should be fine.

 

That's what I was wondering about. Would it hurt the gears with the bigger tires during the break in period?
