Here is the canvas. 2013 Sport, 6speed, 3.73's, 33x10.5x15 BFG AT's, MB72 wheels.

Have looked at every lift kit option. Was set on leveling or 2", and am now thinking 2.5. Concern with 2.5 it's what else will I have to do to make it right especially if I get 3" in front.

Any one been through this and have any good ideas, options, thoughts, concerns? 33's are not changing. Do not want 35's as it is a DD, but will be used a few times a year off road here in Colorado.

Current springs are 17/58. I can get a Rubi set up free from dealer, so keep that in mind for shockA.J

Thanks!

Forgot to mention, want to be under $500, but I can perform the labor myself.

I would do rubi suspension, a leveling kit, quick discos, and perhaps a nice bumper with a little bit more money

Thanks everyone thus far!

@Sirisa, I imagine you are referring to a spacer leveling kit, correct? If so, I should use shock extensions with that, right?

Stock extensions usually come with spacer leveling kits if needed-perhaps get some rubi shocks too
