I am purchasing new wheels (Dick Cepek DC-2 17x9) and new tires (Pro-Comp Xtreme AT 285/70 R17). This is for my 2 Door X '07 red rock JK.

I would like a small lift to make it all look good and add a little clearance. I'm thinking 1.75" or 2" BB. I'm not up on all the details on lifts. The Jeep is my DD and I'm never planning extreme wheeling just off-road, trails, etc. It will get most of its miles on the highway.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to get?

I would like to level it out a bit too but I'm not sure of all the details. I don't think I need new shocks for this but I am open for advice. I want a good ride for my DD.

 

-Teraflex Leveling Kit 2''spacer front 1''spacer rear,cost~140$

-Teraflex BB 2.5'' ~400-600$ depending if you buy new shock or shock adapter

 

Here is a pic of mine with a 2.5" Teraflex BB and 33s. This is when I still had the factory bumper. This lift won't get rid of any rake if you have it. Mine never did.

 

That's a good look Cpt. Flapjack!!!

With a 2.5" lift would new shocks be needed as well?

 

Thanks.

You will need new shocks or shock extensions with any 2.5" lift. If you don't get one or the other, you're shocks will be near the end of travel and not have much more extension when you hit a hole. If you don't offroad, I guess it could be ok...

If you go with the Teraflex kit, get the one with the shock extensions if money is tight. It has everything you need. I ran that kit for a year and it worked great on and off road.

 

I have a Zone 2" spacer lift with shocks.

I have over 20,000 miles on it with no problems.

The price was very nice too.

 

Thanks CreepJeep.

I just looked up the Zone product. $129 without shocks on their site is great!!!

I think that is exactly what I'm looking for!!!!

What shocks did you get?

 

I got the the Zone shocks that were 34.68 each for the 2" lift.

they really made a difference from my OM rubi shocks.
they were alot softer and make for a great ride.

 

2.5TF BB front and Daystar 1.75 rear, both with shock extensions. 33"Km2's

 

That's great to know, as I'm looking at that kit as a temp cheap solution before doing the OME kit. Found one for a heck of a deal from someone who's wife totaled the Jeep prior to install.

Personally, I can't stand nose high stances of some of the kits on the market. That one looks perfect.
