Thanks for posting this. This is is the solution I've been looking for! I want to do this exactly. Can you be more specific on the exact tires and wheel spacers? Also, are the wheel spacers really needed or just a preference?
Glad I could help! To be exact, they are 285/75/R17. Once mounted they measure just a tad under 34”, but very close. The 1.5” TeraFlex spacers are just a personal preference and I think they really compliment the tires nicely.

I'm curious to see what the AEV 2" spacer lift looks like with 33's. My only off-road work is sand and snow so the lift would be fine for me. It also seems that the suspension from a Rubicon hardtop would work as well.
Here is my sport with 2" AEV lift on 315/70/17 k02's

This is my '19 with 275/70/18's , which are right about 33", stock wheels and 1 3/4" spacers with a Teraflex 2 1/2" lift. I had previously run a 2" spacer lift but installed the TeraFlex springs and LCA and pretty sure it's closer to 3 1/2" actual lift.

My 2018 Sahara has 33" Falkens on stock wheels; no lift. My plan was to lift the jeep and add 35" tires once the Falkens wore out. Here's the rub: Since Covid I drive about 100-200 miles a month and that won't be changing anytime soon. As such my current tires are going to dry rot before the tread wears out. So the new plan is to keep the 33's but I still want to lift the jeep. Looking for recommendations on a lift that works well with 33" tires. Thanks in advance and of course pics are greatly appreciated.

33's and shocks/springs from a 4 dr Rubi hardtop gave my 2 dr sport exactly 2" of lift all around. Happy with the looks and ride. Obviously if you put them on a 4 dr you won't get quite as much lift...

Looks great! Probably saying that cause it looks so similar to my '19 JL, haha. Love that "stealth" look. I ended up replacing silver badge and emblems with black ones...just sayin ;)

I ran stock take off rubicon wheels and tires on a 2.5” jks j-Konnect kit. For about a year and a half. Here is some flex shots with that kit. I’ve also add a picture of how my Jeep sits with 33's and 35's now. very last picture is 35's

This is what my Sahara looked like with a Mopar 2-inch lift and 33-inch tires. It looked terrible!

If you don’t want to replace tires yet, I’d say hold off doing the lift.
I like the powder coated white wheels.
Those wheels are on my radar screen.

Find a Rubicon takeoff set of springs and shocks, preferably from a hardtop, steel bumper, and tow group Rubicon and call it done. Seems the ‘21’s on up might be lower so look for some from an 18-20. Spring part numbers you’d want will end in 61 (left) & 62(right) for the front and 91(left) & 92(right) for the rear. One number lower on each of those wouldn’t be bad either.

I have 285/70/17 so the dynatrack is going to make them look small I guess. I'll see in a couple of weeks. I have steel bumpers, a winch, heavy rock sliders, and a rugged ridge tailgate hinge so hopefully that will help.
how did the 285 and the lift look?
