To lift or not to lift? Add larger tires or not?

[Tahoma]

I have a 2019 Moab. I drive it everyday.
From your guy’s experience, does lifting and adding larger tires negatively effect the ride and quality of drive? What are the expected maintenance required that come along with lifting + increasing tire size? Expected costs?

Keep in mind, it’s my daily car.

I wanna hear everyone’s experience before I jump into something that I may regret.

Everyone’s feedback is appreciated!

Looks nice as-is, unless you need the lift/tires for harder off-roading I'd leave it be

34" or 35" inch tires when the current ones need replacing, don't mess with lift until you decide you want to lift it.

A Rubi with 35" looks great and Moab will too.

I have a 2018 JLU Sport that I put a 3.5in lift and 35" KO2s on and the ride quality is just fine, no complaints. I struggled with death-wobble on my factory tires and the bigger wheels and tires actually improved my ride. Havent had an issue sense. I have the 6spd MT and I dropped from about 19 mpg to about 15 mpg but the MT already had issues with gears that were to tall. I am regearing and that will fix my issue and fix the mpg a little bit.

I’m just going to give it to you straight bro, Jeeps look dumb without aftermarket rims and bigger tires. Especially JLUs

if I were you, i'd do like a 2" lift on 35's. If you plan on offroading where you want good flex, do a suspension lift. if it will be just basic dirt roads to go through scenic places or to get toa camping spot, then you can do just a 2" budget boost lift and call it a day and save money.

I have a Rubicon that sits on a 2.5" metacloak lift (though it seems more like 3-3.5") on 35" tires and i love it. daily driver, and i wheel it too. It rides great. THe metalcloak lift i get replaces a lot of the stock suspension, but for what i use it for, i wanted and needed it.

Of course it's a jeep, so whether it's lifted or not, it's not going to drive like a luxury car. But the different isn't bad at all

I’m almost in the same boat as you.

I have a 2019 Moab and am planning on lifting it. I’ve actually called a few shops and have gotten a few quotes. Ball park for my endeavor is around 5-7k

So far on the top of the leaderboard as of today...

Teraflex ST2 w Falcon 3.3 SP2
Falcon Nexus 2.2 Steering Stabilizer
Yeti Track Bar
315/70 KO2

Now for rims
1 option keep stock Moab rims and run Spydertrax spacers
Other option AEV Savegre II

Now the biggest hurdle... convincing the the wife!

My opinion........Tint those front windows and level the front end. Otherwise, you've got a great looking Jeep.
