I'm looking to get 35's soon and still trying to decide on a lift package. I have a 2012 2 door sport and do mainly street driving with occasional beach and trail rides, so no flexing really. Thinking about installing the 18/59 springs and rubicon shocks with a RC BB lift, but I don't want to go to high. Would I be better off installing the springs/shocks and just some 1" spacers? I just want to do it right, so any advice is welcome. Thanks!

 

You could get 2" from the Rubi springs alone. Maybe start with those if you can get them for a reasonable cost. Adding in with a 2.5" BB could put you at 4.5 to 5" of lift which will cause additional geometry issues.

 

I'd need rubicon shock as well, correct?

 

I have the 18/59 springs with a 2 inch spacer and my front end sits about 1 inch higher than the rear

 

I'd go with the current springs on the Jeep and a BB. A BB will have extended bump stops so the 35s won't rub, longer shocks and a bracket for the rear track bar. The taller stock springs (18/59) and spacers or BB will put you up high with out any (or enough with the BB) geometry correction and it will be a shitty ride. Check out the Teraflex 2.5 BB.

 

You don't have to install Rubicon shocks with the 18/59 springs. They're a bit nicer than the black shocks on the Sport and Sahara.

 

Maybe I'll just go with a 2.5 BB and make it easy on myself. Probably makes the most sense.
