Should I lift my Rubicon with 35s?

[MonopoliJLUR]

Hey I’m installing some 315/70r17 k02s with fuel covert wheels with +1 offset, and I was wondering if there are any small lifts that people would recommend for on road driving to keep the ride as close to stock as possible

I don’t think it needs too much of a lift, just looking for 1”-1.5” of lift

and anyone with pics too would be much appreciated

I ran my Rubicon 4xe for a month with the 35's from my JK. Never rubbed, but never went off road. The 4xe supposedly sits 1" higher than the 6 cylinder stock. If you are not going offroad you might be happy with no lift or just 1" spacers on the springs. I would start with the tires and go from there.

Looks awesome!

I just installed the Teraflex 1.5" spacer lift on my JLUR with 315/70R17 KO2's. I additionally added the following;

2" front and rear bump stops (Mopar lift)
Extended front and rear sway bar links (Mopar lift)
Mopar lift LCA's
Front and rear Bilstein shocks (5100)

Now the Teraflex 1.5" spacer lift contains a 2" front puck and a 1.5" rear puck to get rid of the stock rake.. I actually like the rake though, so be aware of this!

I will try and gets pics soon.

That was kind of the way I was leaning, what was the cost and how’s the ride quality?

To round out your selection… 2.5” AEV lift with the same tires you’re putting on:

I believe my cost was around $550 for everything. It rides very smooth with the Bilstein 5100's! I need some more time under them to know for sure if I would recommend them.

Jeep liked your Jeep so much they built the Xtreme Recon to copy your rig.

Look at the TerraFlex 1.5”- 2” spacer lift.

This is mine with 35” MickeyThompson Boss AT tires and 2” lift. Lift + tires = 3” great frame to ground clearance then stock.

Personally I would keep the Rubicon either stock with 35s or run 1 inch spacers.

Rubicons technically can run 35s bone stock and unless you're going with bigger tires then 35s all you're doing is lifting the body without improving ground clearance and making your rig just that much more top heavy for no reason. JMO

The lift increases approach, break over, and departure angles, water fording, and likely axle articulation.
