Hi y'all, Name is Alex. I've been on here before but it's been so long I actually forgot my username lol. Any way, I wanted to share my Jeep and lift in hopes that it helps someone else out. I've been sitting on Nitto Mud Grapplers for about two years and it was kind of a bummer because it was not really off road-able in its stock suspension configuration (duh). I hardly ever drive the Jeep (due to company car) but wanted to gain a little lift to go "play". I researched long and hard and finally settled on JKU springs (18/60's) off of a 2014 Rubicon 4 door. I picked up the springs for free at a local shop that was pitching them. I wanted to correct the factory rake of the jeep so I opted for the Teraflex Leveling Kit. I think it was $109.00 total with shipping from Amazon.

Today I went out to a friend's shop and with the use of a Hi-lift and a transmission jack I completed the project in about 3 hours. I was expecting around 2 inches of lift. I was sitting at (fender well) 38" and now its at 42 and 1/2 inches! so Just over 4 inches of lift from the JKU springs and the 2" leveling kit. It rides great! Just wanted to share in case anyone else wanted to gain a lot for a small price. here are some before and after photos. Enjoy!

Looks great! I basically did the same, but just the front springs on my '13 JKU. I had 17/59's stock and put 18's up front plus a 1" spacer and then a 3/4" spacer in the back. It's enough for me while I'm still paying for the Jeep. I still need to get rid of the S/A rubber, so saving my pennies.

Did you add brake line relocations? I've been thinking I might especially when I disco the front on some of the trails nearby.
