How much lift?

[RustyNance]

If you can afford it, this is a kit that's about as complete and as good as it gets for a 2-door

Thank you very much for taking the time to post that link. I'll definitely look hard at that one. Don't have a need for 5" of lift, but assume it is adjustable and can be set up for 3'. Planning the build so all things are on the table, including this lift. I really didn't pay much for the jeep which is in perfect stock condition, so there is room in the budget to splurge a bit. I will be replacing the front axle, likely truss the rear housing, will upgrade all axle and drive shafts. Would be great if the EVO rock sliders could be made to work with that long arm kit.

Hopefully this helps a bit. I kinda pieced together my lift but can provide some context, I am currently on EVO 2" front plush ride coils + 1" spacer and OME rear 2.25" med duty no load coil +1" spacer. On 37x1350 cooper's.
The 1" spacers were only added later due to some changes in weight (motor swap and loading gear for the rubicon and putting rear seats back in) when I originally put the 37s on I did not have the 1" spacers. I will say it worked without the spacers but I like the performance better with them in. But I wouldn't want it to be any higher than it is. Ran the rubicon on this set up and it did fantastic. First pic is with spacers second is without

Thank you I have been very happy with it love the way a 2dr wheels.
It's definitely tough to find the right combo with the 2drs since almost everything out there is made for the more popular 4dr. Yielding 1-2" above advertised lift height. Hence why I went the route I did. I'm happy with it and really have no reason to change it until I go coilovers. Eddie is not wrong on the long arm thing though. It's not exactly the best handling vehicle out there so if you have the money to splurge a long arm will ride way nicer. I've just slowly pieced mine together over time and haven't made it that jump to an LA kit yet. But cut fenders and 3" works great on 37s for my 2dr and as I mentioned I really wouldn't want to be any higher than I am with the spacers

Still planning the transition to 37"s from stock tires on my 16 JK Rubicon. Considering a 4" lift from Rancho but frankly I'm just not certain this amount of lift is required. How much lift are others running on their JK Rubicons with 37" tires?

don't listen to these people. we all know the higher the lift the closer to god.

making me miss my Gecko JK.

Bit the bullet and ordered this today. Decided to not do the Long Arm kit due to installation complexity and lack of good installers near me.

Lift kit arrived, ordered new drive shafts this morning. Still need to order the ProRock 44 front axle and new gears and axle shafts all around. Plan on keeping the factory lockers.

 

[RustyNance]

Adam’s drive shafts will be here Tuesday and just ordered the Dynatrac ProRock 44 housing for the JK Rubicon. Will keep the factory Locker. Just need to order axle shafts, wheels and tires now. Getting closer to having all the parts I need.

Sweet! Yeah I kept my factory locker also with the PR44. Post up some pics when you get into it! #jeepporn

Time to order wheels that will work with the Evo Enforcer Coilover kit. They recommend a maximum backspacing of 3.75". Any have a good suggestion? Considering method beadlocks, but not certain I really need beadlocks yet. Like the Icon Rebound Pro and the Method bead grip wheels but they are closer to 4.5" backspacing.

Just home from my last trip, new drive shafts were on the porch.
