So I am new here... recently got my first Jeep and want to do a lift and put on some 33s with the idea of upgrading to 35s down the road when I want to pay for re-gearing. Looking for a budget friendly way to get this done. Was speaking with my brother in law and came up with this.
My Jeep - 2018 JL Sahara 3.6 Manual
Since I would like to go to 35s down the road, I’d rather not spend a fortune on 33s only to lose a lot of their value when i try to resell. What if I bought some takeoff Rubis for ~$1000-~$1200. Then, downt he road, when I want to re-gear and upgrade the size, I can sell the Rubi wheels for a price not too far from what I originally paid for them.
This makes a total cost to get the 2.5” lift to be under $2000 and that is before I sell the stock Sahara wheels and tires for a few hundred.
Thoughts? This will be a beach vehicle in the Outer Banks of NC. The off-roading it will experience is in the 4x4 area and on the beach/ in sand.

- Upgrade the JLUS with a complete Rubi takeoff suspension. This will provide about 3/4 - 1 inch of lift to the Jeep. Cost ~$300
- Add Teraflex 1.5 inch Performance Lift (https://teraflex.com/shop_items/5b6331a456d70ed493a48728). Cost ~$160
- Ballpark total cost of lift $500. Labor ... would do it myself
