Default Specific Lift Question--(I know a million threads but here we go)

Hi---Looking for some advise specific to my set up---appreciate everyones help.

I have a 2007 4dr Sahara with 16" Procomp 7069's with 33" Procomp Mud Terrains.

Rear Bumper is a Smittybilt SRC with tire carrier. (Heavy Bumper and I have the 33" as the spare)

Front Bumper (adding next week) is Rugged Ridge XHD with the Standard Ends and the Hoop Over.(Not sure of weight but looks pretty Beefy)--I will be adding a Winch

My point is that I really only want a Small lift to offset the weight of these and to help a bit off road.

I have a Messed up Right Knee so climbing in to something lifted to high is not going to work.

I would also like to clear up the Front Rake in the process.

I cant spend a fortune but want to do this right...open to Ideas and options.

(Ok so I want it all and I want it now!!!)

Thanks

Joe

nah, this should compensate for your winch.

I'm sure Joe @ Teraflex will come in to add here.

PM him, Teraflex is his name on here.

as mentioned, the leveling kit is probably your best bet.

Definitely the leveling kit... Like you stated you just want to level the jeep out to make everything look even due the added extra weight gain without getting too much lift.

That's the Northshore area in the background.

Being that your wanting to run those bumpers, I would suggest the Performance Leveling kit. Over time those factory coils will start to sag and I would hate to see you have to swap kits out.
