I just wanted to say hey to everyone. I am new to the forum and the Jeep world. I just bought a 2008 Unlimited Sahara. After seeing all of the cool mods you all have done, I am already looking to add a few to mine. I am planning on a set of 17" AEV's with a set of aggressive looking 33". Then in about a week or 2, adding a 2.5" lift. I have read several posts here and being a newbie..........I still have many questions .

I read of some issues with the teraflex lift on the '08 jk's. Has anyone had a lift on an 08 that works flawlessly and would recommend.

Also, what width on 33" tires can I get away with, without a lift at the moment. I read somewhere 10.5 but I also saw where someone had 12.5's without any rubbing issues.

Maybe this is the wrong area for my questions and I apologize if so. Anyway, hi again and I totally dig this site and appreciate all who have made it great. I'll post a few pics after a few mods are done.

 

Welcome, mine just arrived a few days ago so I'm still euphoric. Post some pics when you get a chance.

 

Welcome to JK-Forum ssmith.

 

Congrats on the Jeep and welcome to the site. I have the 2" Black Diamond Lift and haven't had any problems with it. As far as tire width goes you can do 33 x 10.5 on the stock wheels or 33 x 12.5 on the AEV's without rubbing, the AEV's have less back spacing.

 

Thanks for the welcome and the info everyone. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing on the forum and possibly on the trails some day.

 

Welcome to the board and congratulations on your new Jeep!

 

Welcome SS ,enjoy all the info and good people on here.
