Lift recommendations

If you are not going off road, save some coin and maybe just go with spacer lift. Same look but with a little less articulation.

Why not check out @Clayton Off Road . I have the 2.5" Overland + with 35's and it is great on and off road. They recently came out with a 1.5" Overland + kit that would work well with 33's. (https://www.claytonoffroad.com/product/jeep-wrangler-15-overland-lift-kit-2018-jl-jl-4xe)

I'm currently in the process of installing their 1.5" Overland+ Kit. Should have it done sometime next week. I'm definitely curious as to how it rides/performs.
Impressions to come soon!

In general articulation is controlled by bumps and shocks, not the springs/spacers.

how does this compare to your stock rubi suspension? Is there anything else you changed? I like that the one i linked comes with control arms

Here is the parts list. Also added a rear track bar relocation bracket.

Woah that’s a lot of parts. Do you think I can get away with just the coil spring base lift and some mower control arms? That’s what the mopar kit has

Your axles won’t be centered, but if that doesn’t bother you and it doesn’t bow your springs too bad from being shifted over I suppose it would be fine. You can add the supporting parts later if you wanted to.

I was thinking of just doing Mopar LCA’s, Teraflex 1.5” spacers front, 1” rear, larger bump stops and longer shocks(probably Fox or Ranchero). 35” tires are going on in the summer.

sorry, screen capture from Instagram, I would not recommend this spacer lift. I assume it it is pretty cheap tho.

FYI the TF 1.5 for the JL is 1" front and 1.5" rear. I'd consider Bilsteins over the Ranchos personally.

I have the TF spacer kit for a 4dr (it's 2" front, 1.5" rear) on my 2dr, coupled w/ Rubi springs from a heavy 4dr and Fox 2.0 shocks (0-1.5" lift) running 315/70/17s w/ 2" bumps in front and 1.5" in back.

@Swissswiss,

Ibrahim, I may not be a lift 'purist' because I just went with the dealership installed Mopar 2.0" Lift on my 2019 JL 2-door Sport. No adjustable track bars, just the plain Jane Vanilla standard kit. Ended up with a little over 2.5". But after putting on 35's along with a Teraflex Swaybar Quick Disconnect Kit, I couldn't be any happier. Rides great, both on and off-road. I love it.

I know I post this pic a lot, but it shows where I can easily take this thing. This is on the Wheeler's Lake Trail, northwest of Alma Co, just after the V-Notch obstacle. On that day our Jeep Patrol assisted the U.S. Forest Service in putting in several winch points.

Many Jeep's, including non-stock Rubicon's, find this obstacle pretty difficult. The winch points were being installed specifically for that reason.

However, I have never yet had any trouble navigating this obstacle with my Sport on open diffs. The added clearance, all-terrain rubber and the disconnected swaybar certainly makes a big difference in my capability.

No matter which lift you decide, you won't regret it. Getting far off the beaten path is so much worth every penny.

You don’t need a lift for 33’s. So at this point it’s either for looks or to keep your belly off rocks. I’d recommend a rubi takeoff set (springs and shocks) because why spend money for capabilities you don’t need? I started my 2 door with leftover shocks and free springs from a local shop, I just had to dumpster dive for them. At one point I bought 1 more mopar spring to boost the front after the winch went on (there’s a musical chair game to play with front springs if you know how to research the part numbers).

Now that is one sweet set up, Brad.

I will have a set of Rubi 2dr suspension coming off my ‘22 this week if I can help someone out.

Are you willing to ship? I'm interested in the springs...

I have the JKS lift and seems to ride better than stock (Rubicon). I've heard the Mopar lift rides like crap - but no personal experience.
