Hello all!
Newbie here, just picked up my first wrangler this week and love it so far. My only gripe about the sport is the dinky tires lol. Was thinking of either going with either 285/75r17 or the 285/70r17 and from what I read through the forums either of these seem to be fine on the sport without a lift in the short term, but I would like some sort of small lift to give me a little extra room to flex for if/when I decide to do some light wheeling. My original thought was to get some rubicon take off suspension from which I understand should get me an inch or so and most likely wouldn't effect the ride much. Would this be enough or would I be better considering one of the spacer lifts?

Sorry for the long first post! Thanks in advance for the input!

I put Rubicon take off wheels (285/70r17) on my Sport. No issue what so ever.

Thanks for the reply! Looks sharp! So no issues when flexed or at full lock?
I have not had a chance to do a lot flexing. not a lot of trails around here. no issue at full lock.
