Hey everyone i posted my jeep in the unmodified section yesterday to get some answers on my susupension. i recently purchased my 11 sahara from a dealer and noticed that it was not at stock height. i asked the dealer and they didnt know what was done to the suspension. i found out yesterday from posting that it has a the Rubi take off suspension and also what look like to be 2.5 spacers. my question, do you think i will be ok going with 35" tires? i do have some spidertrax spacers sitting in my garage if needed be. i have the 255/75/17 on it right now and they looks super small. thanks everyone

 

an additional pic.

 

I think you will be fine running 35's.

 

You may need to trim the pinch seam and might need wheel spacers but otherwise you should be ok. Oh and you may need to add bump stop if it hasn't already been addressed.

 

In the pics it looks like the bump stops haven't been extended. You'll need extensions for 35s.

 

ok, thanks everyone! i am going to sound really dumb but what do the bump stops do? whats its purpose?? :-/

 

the only issue i can see from the pics would be some rubbing while turning at full lock. do you plan to keep the stock wheels? if so, you'll probably need wheel spacers.

wheel spacers an trim the pinch seam and you should be good to go

 

They are those yellow snubby looking things inside your front springs and at the rear next to the springs that limit suspension up travel.

If you don't run extended bumpstops with 35s, your fenders and fender flares will limit your suspension up travel when the tires jam into them, cut the tires, and tear off the flares.

 

thanks again everyone for all the answers, how can i tell if the sway bar links have been replaced when they put the spacer? i just want to make sure everything was done right.

 

The swaybars will be angled up or at least level at ride height. If the sway bars are angled down, the links are too short.
