changing sport suspension

[robertsj22]

looking at putting in rubicon shocks and springs and then upgrading to 33's, if i put in a one inch spacer would that be enough to get 35's and would i have to change any additional parts

Fenders will still be a problem unless you do proper bump stops. I have 2” Dynatrac springs with 295/75r17s that measure 33.25” mounted. The fender gap is pretty much the same as a rubicon with stock 285/75r17s.

so you are suggesting staying with 33's

No, just make sure you extend your bump stops. You could always go with a 285/75r17. The diameter will probably be the same as most 35s but narrower so you shouldn’t rub as much.

Also are you planning stock wheels?

if i was going the 33 route i was just going to find some rubicon take off's

35s will fit. but might have rubbing flexed or at full lock depending on how wide. getting JLUR Diesel suspension (hard top, bumper, tow packages) would give you the largest lift. I ended up getting about 3in with that. I'm only running rubi take off tires for now though

If you do 35s on stock wheels you will probably the sway bar. The width gets you. 33s on stock rubi wheels would be an easy fit.

 

[robertsj22]

Seems like the easy way is just add rubicon wheels tires springs and shocks

It looks like the Dynatrac and 285/70 r17 on a Sport would look almost identical to the stock Rubicon. Looks good.

It sits about 1.5” taller. I am about 3” over stock height from the lift coils alone.

the rubi’s higher flares give that impression in the photo I think. Look at the bumpers mine is still a little higher and I am downhill

 

[robertsj22]

So if a guy wanted new rims and tires where would be the best place to look and what width tire should I look at to get 35’s with a sport with a rubicon shocks and springs

 

[XJfanatic]

Depends on the type of tire you want. For where to look. As well as what wheel size you are looking for 17, 18, etc.

You could probably get by with stock wheels if you went with a 285/75r17 (34.6” tall). I personally like the tires to be right about the edge of the flares.

I went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers and don’t regret it. Found them cheapest on Amazon and did the price match through discount tires website. They knocked another 3 dollars off.

I am not a fan of the stock sport rims so I’m gonna have to find something else. Looking at BFg all terrains or something similar

Than pick your retailer, Quadratec, Extreme Terrain, Discount Tire, etc. Not 100% sure on backspace and offset you want.
