Not sure yet. I have 33's now, and I want to run 35's. I also want the Jeep to still fit in the garage. Lots of info out there on lifts, but I'm still unsure whether I need 2.5" or 3.5". I'm hoping to find a shop that others have used so I get good advice. I'd hate to drive home and have the roof scrape the garage header.

Well I think that's going to be tough. I think you need the 3.5 to avoid rubbing but when you throw on 35's that's another inch of "lift" to your roof. I'm looking at the aev lift. Seems like the best one for my purposes. But once I get it there is no way I'm fitting in my garage.

I've measured a friends Jeep that has 35's. It would fit. When I asked what lift he had, I got "I bought it that way". That's why I'm looking for reliable advice from someone who knows lifts. There's an awful lot of sales people in Vegas that don't necessarily know much about what they're selling.

He might have just bought it like that. I think Chapman jeep sells them with the stage II Mopar lift. Think they use fox parts.

went to the web site and i didnt see any lifts there. Looks like they just do gearing. Which i will need also but i am focusing on the lift first. Let me know if I am mistaken.

They'll install what ever you want and also do custom work. Larry is the Associate Publisher and Senior Editor for Crawl Magazine and they are great. Just give them a call and they'll get you taken care of.
