Default Bds 2 inch coil lift

Thinking of putting on a bds 2 inch coil lift with shocks on my 2013 jku. I have searched and find different answers. So wanted to post and see what you guys say. I'm new to the jeep world. I will be running 18x9 with 33s. I was told on a 2 inch lift that just the springs and shocks will do great I won't need anything else. What do you guys think?

I'm no expert but I think you'll be fine. Maybe you could add longer swaybar links but not necessary.

Oh I will also not be doing any heavy off road stuff. Maybe some trails but that will probably be it. Thanks for the reply and any other help ahead of time. Already getting more replies then I did on another forum.

I would look into exhaust spacers. And everything else you should be good. How wide 33s and what's your wheel pack spacing

I have a 2" BDS coil lift with 33s. The set up is fine for what you want to do. I have had mine wheeling in AL and also northern NM.

I did have some slight rear tire rubbing on my rubicon rails under heavy flex. No big deal, just a trim on the rubicon rails solved it. No probs now.

Here is a pic.

Good luck.

I love the way yours is set up. What size wheels are you running? Ill get the exhaust spacer for sure I forgot about that. An ill probably go ahead and get the trac bar bracket. Ill be running 33 toyo open country with 18x9 I believe back spacing is 4.50 so tires will be 33 12.50
