Default Another Lift and Tire quest.

I'm looking for something basic without changing gears,drive shaft etc. I want enough room to clear 35 inch tires without rubbing. The jeep is an everyday driver, mainly on road. Rarely will I do wheeling. Just looking for suggestions. Im going with MT sidebiters 17inch and the MT ATZ OR MTZ. Any info would be greatly accepted.

easy, install something like a teraflex 2.5" budget boost with shock extensions.

i needed a front adjustable track bar with my 2.5" because the steering and stability was all out of wack, my jeep was wobbly like crazy.

picked up a teraflex one at northridge for a good deal.

I forgot to ask about the ride of the jeep after installing this lift. Is it better or worse than stock? With the addition of the inserts that go into the springs (not really sure what they are called...lol) does the ride become stiff?

Coil spacers just move the starting point of the coil, they do not make the coil stiffer.

Typically, the ride will feel about the same as stock, except that your stock shocks will be valved a little weakly to control the slight change in your center of gravity.

In short, it won't be a rougher ride.

Ok, so I'm gonna go with the Tera flex 3" lift with MT sidebiters and 5 35" MT ATZ. I guess I should be good to go? No other accessories to be purchased for an everyday ride right?
