Default First Jeep!

Hi there all! New to the Jeep world. I have a 2013 4door Sport. Want to run 33's with a 2.5" Teraflex or AEV coil lift. My concern is when adding front and rear bumpers with a winch is the weight going to sag the springs. If so what lift would counteract this?

If you do see a sag it probably won't be more than a .25". If the sag is more then that you could always add some small coil spacers to even it back out. Many companies take bumpers and winches into consideration when making their lifts. You might get more than the advertised height on stock bumpers and then once you add aftermarket bumpers and winch it will bring the height down.

What about going to 35". Regear or no. It's the 3.6 with 3.73 gears. Will it be ok.

Yeah probably. I would install the lift and tires and see if the powerband is tolerable for you. Lots of people running around on 35s and even 37s with the stock gears and the pentastar.

I would also skip the 33s and go with 35s. Almost everybody that gets 33s eventually goes 35s. You wont have any clearance issues with the lift you are thinking about.
