Alright...here is my problem. I have a stock 2010 rubicon that I am starting to modify this spring and need a little help. This mamma jamma is still my daily driver to and from work but 4 or 5 times a year we go off times a year and it is pretty aggressive. This year I am adding a winch, new tires (replacing the factory bfg's 255 75 17) because rotating them every 3k got 70kmiles on them and adding a lift. The lift is were I get out of my comfort zone and get a little lost. I have an extra set of wheels so eventually those will house the mega tires and I want to make sure I have clearance so 3" or 4" and what is cost effective. Also looking for full doors and have had no luck with this so any ideas would be awesome. I am new to the forum but it looks like there is a wealth of knowledge here so thank you in advance for having me and helping me.

 

All depends what size tire you're planning on running...

 

2.5" is the sweet spot...

 

At least 35's

 

Welcome to The forum. X2 on the 2.5 lift coils. Teraflex make nice kit.do you have an 2 door or 4 door.

 

I'm running 2" lift with 35'S...Perfect for me... 2 - 2 1/2 is perfect fir foe 35'S...

 

I am running 3.25" lift and 35's during the summer. I have 40K on the lift and probably 25k on the tires.
This is a daily driver with some travel on them. I have had no issues with the lift and tire size. I have the 6 speed manual with 4:10. With the 35's it is okay as long as you don't mind dropping a gear at every hill. hahaha
I run stock tires during the winter months.
The lift and shocks did change the ride quality to be stiffer than stock although I really don't notice it as I put the lift in with only 700 miles on the Jeep.
I find this amount of lift is just right for me and the uses I have for my Jeep. A 2.5" would also have been fine but I liked the 3/4" inch more.
Hope this helps.
Stay safe.

2 door...1/2 doors that I would love to trade for full doors if you know anyone who might be interested.

 

2.5" min for 35s, 4" for 37s, 6" for 40s...

You can combine coils, spacers, body lifts for a cost effective total height.

 

Thank you everyone for the ideas...much appreciated!
