Just picked up a 21 Unlimited Rubicon Diesel and was thinking of doing a 2 in spacer lift with stock wheels and tires...any opinions or pics if this will look right?
Thanks for all the pics and advice. They did say sidewall markings,So, limited to 33" as spec'd or under load? A 315/70/17 is 33.25" under load. Plus with metric sizes there is no absolute size posted on the sidewall. Only a knowledgeable beach patrol guy would figure it out. A yardstick measurement would have you close to 33". If you aired down, you would definitely be good.
Did you have to do anything after adding the spacers? Any changes in ride?I'm thinking it'll look like you skipped leg day.
This is my Rubicon with a 3/4" lift and stock 285s but wider wheels with less positive offset. I'm more than ready to go to 35s.
Nothing at all and no noticable ride change. Not obvious in looks, but I could tell that "something" changed the first few times getting into it.Did you have to do anything after adding the spacers? Any changes in ride?
Thanks for the response, thats good to hear. I am putting 35's on a stock JLRXE ( Or whatever acronym the world settles on for the JL Rubicon 4xe) and I dont want to lift, but I also want to regain some room and maintain the look within the wheel well. From what I have seen this isnt an issue up front, but in back its a tighter fit, especially with any gear.Nothing at all and no noticable ride change.

I joke that I put on the World's Smallest Lift Kit.
A fellow 4x4 club member and I, both with JLURs, the nain difference being his is a hard top and 100% stock with plastic bumpers, mine witb aftermarket wheels (stock tires), soft top and steel bumpers. We both went up a 30° RTI ramp and shockingly, mine went 4" furter up the ramp than his. I was really shocked at that.
