I currently have the Teraflex leveling kit on my Sahara Unlimited - 2" in front, 1" in rear. I figure a 1" BL would give me enough room (as much as a 2.5" lift) to put 35s under it.

Anyone done it? Any concerns I should have (clearance, ride quality, etc.)? I plan to lift it more in the future anyway, but for now if I can get enough room for about $100 more, it gives me that much more to spend on the wheels and tires (big expense). I figure once the 35s are on the vehicle, I won't be in such a hurry to save up for more lift, and maybe I'll take the time and plan it out well.

I'm interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks planman - I didn't think about the bumpstops.

Backspacing will not be a big issue, as I have wheel spacers (you need them for the leveling kit).

I planned to get the programmer with the 35s. I wasn't planning to regear based on what I've read here lately, I'm willing to live with the 4.10s and 35s.

Also, I do not expect to be able to sell the Sahara wheels too easily - it seems the supply outweighs the demand on these. I'm using up the tires - they are probably worthless at this point.

Perhaps I'll just bite the bullet and get a 2.5" spring lift.

 

Ok, I've thought about this a bunch. I could probably do this with extended bumpstops.

My question is, how much will that limit the range of the suspension, and will I even notice?
