I'm about to stick 35s on mine without lifting at all. No plans for full-flex offroading any time soon, so not worried about any issues.

35's will work fine on a JLR but you will rub once you get beyond 75-80% articulation or so.

If you want to keep it as stock as possible then what is wrong with the stock KO2s?
OTOH 35s will work on it just fine. More lift with 33s will start to look unusual.

Work? What's that?
I started with 35s and no lift. It did rub off-road a few times when really flexed. Not all 35" tires are the same size and backspacing of wheels may play a part as well. No more rubbing with the lift.

Also something to note is that my 315/70/17 Falken wildpeak mt01 tires are 35 inch tires, I believe they measure in at 34.6 and they make a 35x12.50R17LT tire which is overall slightly bigger, I think they measure in at 34.8.

Thank you for all the input just didn't know if a budget lift would ruin suspension on the jlr but won't 35 on my Jeep

Here is my 4xe Rubicon with 35's and Teraflex 1.5" lift. I should note the 4xe is about 1" higher stock then non 4xe Rubicons. This is 9" tire to flair all around

No a budget lift will only enhance the stock suspension with same ride, slightly more articulation and same stock ride quality
