Default 2.5 Lift

I just purchased a 2013 2-de Sport (great name) and want to install a simple new coil and shock lift. I did this on a 2010 I had and it worked great, no suspension issues or drive line problems. Drove great without having to adjust anything. It seems it was by a company that had Country in the name. I cannot locate anything on the web, and all the other 2.5 lifts seem to require suspension tuning or adjustments.
My wife is 4'10" and has a tough time with the stock height, so I cannot go any higher. Want to replace the bumpers and get into larger tires eventually.

That's probably Rough Country. Also look at the Teraflex lower end coil lift or the Rancho 2" Sport. Both are good value for the money and should fit your needs.

Things have changed a little bit with the 2010 and the 2013 models. The main change as I am sure you know was Jeep going with the Pentastar engine in 2012. With that being said they also changed the way the exhaust was routed. This now means that even at 2.5" a lift your front driveshaft can make contact with the exhaust. You can prevent this in two ways. One being an aftermarket front drive shaft, and the other being a set of exhaust spacers.

We always recommend the aftermarket front driveshaft because if you take it off road you will eventually need a driveshaft anyhow. Also we feel as the exhaust spacer kit just creates potential locations for exhaust leaks.

If you would like a quote on a package that suits you the best feel free to PM us and we will work with your budget and needs.
