So I know there is alot of info out there and I've read alot if it and the F.A.Q as well. I think I need to make a new post. I want to but 295,70,17 toyo's on my 2dr 09 JK. Im thinking ither Teraflex leveling kit and a 1' body lift, or a full 2.5 kit. Now my issue is I know the full 2.5 coil lift raises your jeep over 2.5 in. I don't want to spend thousands replacing my drive shaft, or control arms, stableizers ect. I'm thinking the leveling kit with some good shocks will give me the performance I want without the worries of killing my driveshaft or casueing horrid vibrations. Is there a lift that will give me decent articulation with true 33's without hurting my jeep and costing big $$. I'm so confused.

thank for the help

 

If your worried, stick with a true 2" BB (Just spacers and new shocks)and run 33's. That is the safest thing you can do and not spend extra money.

 

I am in your same situation looking for a something for my Rig, Prob going with A Teraflex BB or a Rough Country about 350 for either.

 

I dont think 33's will rub without a lift.. I ran mine that way for a while and didnt have any issues. I ended up lifting it for more breakover angle

 

33's on stock suspension. maybe chop the front bumper and fenders, if you are concerned. TF leveling kit gives a nice modest stance. or as already stated, a 2"BB.

however, im running the TF 2.5 coil lift and have no issues with my drive shafts, alignment, etc... of course, there is a debate that the drive shaft(s) MAY need to be replaced eventually, but im willing to test that debate and run the stockers until they start to fail.

 

i agrea. once you go over that 2.5" mark. everything getts pricey! i have a 5" lift. and it'was a pain in the arsh for a while. go with the simple route. TF leveling kit. this kit with 33's will look great. and if does not seam to be enough for you. them do a body lift, and flat fenders. just by doing flat fenders it will give it the look of being taller than it really is.

 

I think im just going to go with a leveling kit, and some agressive shocks down the road for when i get my bumper. With the true 33s anf the kit it will be about 4in in the front and 3 1/2 in the back over stock configuration.

 

I've heard that some where before...

 

I ran Cooper Stt 295-70-17 for a short time with only 3/4" leveling spacers. they fit, but will rub on the sway bar at full turn. I had to put on wheel spacers to eliminate that problem.

Rough Country has a budget spacer lift for like $127 that includes spacers, shocks, links and track bar bracket. Its my opinion that it is a very complete package. Seems like a good deal and you wont have to worry about getting that "extra" lift everyone talks about witht lift springs.

Regarding your tire selection, you may consider the Cooper STT, same tread design as Toyo, much LOWER cost and lower load range (load range D compared to E, it makes a difference). I'll agree though, that the side walls of the Toyo look nicer (another opinion).

 

X2. I took my POS Rough Country 2.5" liftle off this summer and have been running 33's on stock suspension since without issue. I'll occasionally get a rub on the swaybar at full stuff while turned all the way in one direction, but other than that no problems. Then again, my 33's really only measure 31.25" while mounted at 35psi...
