Lift Kit comments!
 
So I've been looking into getting a lift for my 2012 JK. I've looked into Zone Offroads 4" lift but haven't found any reviews. Also looking into Synergy and Skyjacker. Anyone running any of their kits please lemme know your view on them. I'm looking for something at a reasonable price to fit 33s-35s.

Well down here in SoFlo it's just to be able to take it through the thick mud trails but eventually go up to North Florida to the off-road parks where they got rock obstacles and what not. I don't want to spend more than $2.5k between kit and tires.

I would keep the lift at 2" max if that is your budget.

What's the biggest tires I'd be able stuff in there and would I need a certain backspacing on the wheels so they won't rub on the inside?

Forgot to add, the Zone Off-road 4" lift is $600, would that be worth it or just stick to a better American brand but a smaller lift?

For the tire size you are wanting to run, 2 to 2 1/2" is perfect.

So you didn't click the link in his Sig?

You might want to start with a little research on what problems are directly caused by lifting, what all of the various components actually do, and at what heights people start wanting them. For instance, what feedback have you found on the cam bolts that are included in that lift? How about the steep angles you will have on the front trackbar and draglink? What are your plans for when you find a big ring of grease being slung out of the tcase joint on your driveshaft(s)?

Maybe there is more to a tall lift than just the low, low price tag?

Or just do the typical ... 'how about this one? No? Then how about this one? No? Then how about this one? No? etc, etc...

A 4.5" backspace is the general recommendation for 35x12.50's, as you will find in the linked thread. That moves the tires out, and should keep them off the links/ca's. But, rubbing when stuffing the tires could depend on the lift height and the bumpstop height and the flare type and...
