Here's a before an after of mine with 2.5" TF coil lift, 3/4 spacers up front for the weight:
with stock Rubi BFG KMs:

with 285/70/17 (33's) BFG KM2s:

It looked OK with the stock tires, but I got such a smoking deal on the 33s, I couldn't say no.

I'll get in on this. Here's my 2.5" Teraflex coil lift with shock extenders.
Here's before the Expo 1 rear and ARB front bumper.

I've not noticed much settling.

TF 2.5 coil with shocks. I want to tell you, I am very pleased with lift. It handles and drives way better. I plan on 33's but i'm not in any hurry. I think it looks fine with stockers.

What's the load limit of your roof rack mounted on the gutters? I was looking to get one of these roof racks verses having to drill into my hard top and was curious what you use the rack for.

More pics please with 4 dr's with 2-2.5 lifts with 32's pleeze!!! ![Big Grin](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
I'm not sure to go 2 or 2.5 myself.![Don't Know](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/z0tdntknw.gif)
I'm gonna keep my rubi wheels & bfg mt's on for awhile till they wear down then maybe go with custom rims & 33's one day.
Not sure about if I should go with a BB or coil kit.![Don't Know](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/z0tdntknw.gif)
My unlimited X stock suspension feels soft & floaty to me now especially on the highway. The tires set at 37 & feel firm.
Seems I hear the BB kits make a hard ride, which in my mind will maybe be just right on my stock X coils. I hear aftermarket coil lifts can eventually sag or be a bouncy ride from the get go.
