Will a 2.5' lift with 35' tires be enough for Moab with a 07 JKU?

You'll need 1.5" wheel spacers or new wheels with 4.5" of backspacing.

I've been running Rough Country wheel spacers. Costed $118 shipped to my door for 4 of them.

Super easy to install. Love the stance, and allows bigger tires without rubbing issues.

Search the modified forum. There's tons of info about the soft 8s etc. We took the fiances 2010 2dr with 35s, 3" front/2" back lift and running 3.21 gears and had a ton of fun in Moab. Did lots of fun trails down there and never had any problems. Just wheel safe when alone. With the 4dr you may hit bottom a bit more though so just drive careful and you'll probably rub the fenders.
