Have a 15 JK 2 Door. Looking for a 33" setup. Dont want to regear it has 3.21s. It wont be a daily driver but it will make the yearly trip to the OBX. This is our toy/third vehicle and our 3rd Wrangler. Miss my 04 Rubi dearly.

I knew I liked you for some reason. This thread needs pics

A friend of mine had a yj she bought used after college. 33" and a chassis lift. Went through two motors because it had original gearing.

Keeping the same gearing may not be the wisest choice. With the proper gearing and larger tires mpg should stay the same.

http://dpgoffroad.com/productcategories/suspension-kits/ I'd recommend OME brand. Dpg offroad has some great kits and he will walk you through every option available so you can get the best kit for your needs. I highly recommend them!

I got the OME ultimate TJ kit and will be running BFG KO2 33" tires but I have 3:73 gears

I have No Excuses Jeep down the street from my house that will more than likely do the work.... any opinions on Tera Flex?

I've heard of some QC issues with terra flex but no personal experience. Mostly with there terra low gear boxes and control arms.

It has 32s now, Im thinking 2" Budget boost with new wheels and tires.

Stock now

 

2015 JK Sport.

 

Wife only wanted 2 door, White, Soft top only. Only one in NJ when we bought new in 2015.

Had an 04 Rubicon, Black on Black. Miss it.

Gearing may be a little issue, but if it's not a daily your fine. Keep the lift under 3" otherwise your going to be spending a lot of money in axel geometry correction.

 

 

Terraflex is good, I have the rock krawler 1.5" lift, gave me about 2" overall lift and leveled out the nose. Love the ride too, with flat fenders I fit 35's, but I had to use extended bump stops in the rear to prevent rubbing at max flex.

 

I would skip the budget boost kits, and get a real spring kit, they make so many sizes now and they aren't that much more money or require that much more effort to install.

Would you be interested in a roof rack. I know you're looking for lift advice but i bought a rack for my jeep and it doesn't work with my rear bumper.

My wife has a 2016 rubicon 4dr. Can bigger tires be put on without lifting it? If so what rim size/ tire combo works?

Thanks.

I ran my 35's with no lift but you need to use flat fenders like the bushwackers with at least 4.5 backspacing.

 

Forgot to mention, you will need to cut the front air damn and shorten the rock sliders in the rear.

02 TJ w/4 inch Rough Country lift, 33's and rear re-geared to 4.11 (very smooth 2720 rpm's at 65 mph).

 

Make sure you mount a high lift jack, a Jerry can, and vape.

 

I'm sorry, I had to LOL

jk will clear a 33 with just a leveling kit, wheel spacers or higher backspace wheels will help. stock is a 32 basically so 285

 

heres a few from the web, linked because of size (thats what she said)

this is 235/70/17 on stock wheels with 1.5 spacers

285/70/17, unknown mods

everybrand is going to vary on actual measurements and thus revs per mile, you can easily figure out the percentage change in rev/mile but it should be minimal

 

im still on 255s but i got a sweet deal on km1s in that size, i have the teraflex leveling kit tho. plans are to replace this set with 285/70/17 KM2s

back doors are on because of tiny humans

 

tires seem to look smaller on JKUs

I damn near pissed myself when I read that.
