Just purchased a 2007 2 Door JK that has a 5" Sky Jacker and 37's. Only problem is my wife hates driving it being that big.

I want to go down in lift and just run 35's. Ride/Drive quality is a premium as it will see most of its time on road. I don't plan on doing much crawling but will do some light trail riding with some buddies with jeeps so would like for it to be capable also.

I have looked at the TF 2.5 Coil Lift with Fox Shocks as I can get it for $745 shipped which would leave some $$ for an adjustable trac bar or front LCA's.

I really appreciate any input that y'all can offer.

Thanks,
Chris

 

Get some 4 door rubicon coils around 100 bucks or less maybe free

And make a flat fender mod ( free ) cheapest way to go and looks awesome

 

Only problem with that is I don't have any of the factory parts that the 5" sky jacker replaced.

 

You can also look at the teraflex 1.5 inch kit its a little cheaper and would leave room to add components that you might want. Just a sugest there is also the Rock krawler 1.5 kit that is a little more complete both will net you close to 2.5 which is plenty to clear 35s.

I run the TF kit and love the ride i got the Tf tuned fox shocks as well.

Happy jeepin

 

Search CL for old Jeep parts after people upgraded from stock.

 

What parts does the SC lift have, anything adjustable or that you can keep?

 

EVO leveling kit / Rancho 9000 adj shocks and 35s. I love the LCG, and so does my wife. rides amazing.

Rancho has the same front coil leveling kit w/ 9000 shocks for around $480 shipped

 

A simple 2" budget boost or leveling kit will do the job, you can pick the flavor you want. You will also be looking at maybe a pitman arm, fixing cam bolt holes, and removing other drop brackets that may have been installed. If you have SJ control arms you may have to find a set of factory arms to replace them.
