Hi everyone,
I need your help:
I have a JLUR in the European specs.
That means Sahara Flares on a US Rubicon.
I am running 285/70R17 tires (33") (KO2 for summer and Toyo GSI-5 for winter) and probably won't ever go bigger, because I can't find a 35" snow tire here in Europe...
I have installed a spacer lift kit (leveling...) because I didn't like the stock european stance at all...
The lift is a TeraFlex one, composed of: 0.5+0.5=1" for the FRONT // 0.5" for the REAR.
The shocks are FOX IFP 2.0 0-1.5".
Now I think it looks quite fine, but I forgot to take in consideration the fact that I am going to put the fullwidth AEV front bumper + AEV rear bumper. (around 100 lbs front, and 56lbs rear). May add a Warn winch, and that gives another 70lbs at the front.
So, to compensate the loss of 1" with that additional weight, I have found two different solutions:
- >To Add more lift. That means to put the Teraflex 1.5 kit ( composed of 2.0" front and 1.5" rear).
But I am a bit afraid of the driving with such a spacer kit for just 33" tires... And read that @jeepauug found that setup harsh on the road...
->To put the US Rubicon fender flares.
But I am quite afraid of the 2" additional front clearance + actual 1" front lift with 33" tires... Don't want the look of roller skate wheels on a bike...
What do you think ?
Here a picture of the situation:
