Default biggest tire with 2.5 lift

Hey ya'll, what size tires do you think you can fit with the 2.5 lift. I just saw the price for the 3 incher and about fell outta my chair. At least now it'll still cost the same to run 35's as it did on the TJ with those prices.

With 2.5" Coils and the right bump stop extensions, you should be able to run 35's no problem

2.5" is 2.5"

As long as you get a the same amount of actual lift with each. The trick is not letting the tires get to far up into the wheel well.

What brand is the lift? Where did you find the price?

the lift I saw was the 3" ultimate from full-traction and northridge 4x4's site for 1300+. But then I found the 3" economy for somewhere around 500 I think so I should have searched more before posting but hey who cares. After seeing the 37's on 4" pic on project-jk's front page i really need to know how much that costs. (Actually I'm just bench racing right now, I won't be in a position to purchase a new jk till summer 07 at the earliest so by then I'm sure there'll be plenty of lifts available)

I would wait until there is some actual feedback on the new lifts coming out.
