My understanding is that the Rubicon has more lift than any of the other models and can handle 35's without any modification.I am having trouble deciding whether to install a 2 inch lift and 35 inch tires or leave my JL Rubicon as is with the stock Rubicon wheels and 33 inch tires. I am coming out of a JK with a 3 inch lift and 35 inch tires so I was dead set on lifting my JL and placing 35's. Now that I have the JL, I enjoy the way it rides and the ease of getting in and out...not as much for me, but for my petite (short) wife and my daughters. I also like the way it looks with this stock configuration.
But...I know I will feel much better off-road with the lift and 35's. However, this is only about 5% of my driving.
Anyone leaving their Rubicon as is? If so, why?
Thanks!
This is true but under extreme suspension articulation 35's will rub.My understanding is that the Rubicon has more lift than any of the other models and can handle 35's without any modification.
That would be nice! I had a 4 Runner and a 1993 YJ Wrangler at the same time. Honestly, I rarely drove the 4 Runner. It just wasn't even a fraction as fun. I usually only drove the 4 Runner in the summer when it was raining and I had the top down/doors off of the the Jeep. Nothing like a Jeep, and the JL is the best yet.I'm sticking with stock for now. Really enjoy the ride and not sure how a lift and bigger tires will effect it. As Kellyc33 said might be looking at the new Bronco's also. Won't be selling the Rubicon though, just would be adding a third Vehicle to the family. A Rubicon, Bronco and 4Runner Trd Pro should fill up my three garage very nicely.
If I ever decided on a lift, would also go with Mopar 2" and 35". I do admit it is a great look.That would be nice! I had a 4 Runner and a 1993 YJ Wrangler at the same time.

The Mopar lift and 35" KO2's drives pretty similar to the stock Rubi. I think it rides a little softer. Stock, it was slightly quicker and a little better with cornering. Otherwise, there wasn't much difference. I would have been perfectly happy staying stock, but the lift and 35's is pretty awesome, too.
