show pics of your 2dr jk with 3.5 lift, stock flares and 37's
hi there,
i am looking into a 3.5" lift for my 2dr because i dont want to do new drivelines. i know i will have to add more bumpstopping to my suspension so i dont crush my stock flares. i would like to see how your rigs look with this setup and 37's. also, any feedback you have on this set up and what lift you are running and such would be great. i was looking into the aev 3.5 however...the guys down at aev here are arrogant, stuck up, think they know it all pricks. and i cant justify rocking their product after how they treated me and fellow member bstelling just from not having their bumpers and their windsheild banner etc. so im looking into the rustys 3.25 advanced lift...it nets about 4" of lift and there is no need for driveshaft replacement with the kit. any suggestions on teraflex lifts would be great as well.
thanks so much!
Sean

I don't have a 2DR, so I won't show pics of mine unless you really want me to, but you can do the Rock Krawler 2.5" Stock Mod or 2.5" Max Travel kit and run 37's all day long. Trim the rear pinch seams, cut the stock flares, and add some bumpstop and you're golden. Talk to Marcus at River City Off-Road. He's running that set-up on his 2DR.

..... im sure u really want 37s but on a side note i would stick with 35's. after having them i dont think it is worth the large cost difference.

just make sure with the arb that 3.5 is enough lift for you not to hit the front bumper. iv heard of clearance issues with big tires and that bumper.

Yeah, if you're not going to be willing to do flat flares, then 3.5" is better. You can still go wi9th Rock Krawler, though. You'll jsut have to buy everything separately, as opposed to a kit. Should only be a little more than the 2.5" kits due to the 1" taller springs.
Not the greatest pic, but the only one I have that's processed from a RAW file with my rock rings on.
Rock Krawler 2.5" Stock Mod, RK Discos, RK Rear SB Links, Bilstein 5100s, Crown Braided Brake Lines
Here's another pic w/o the rock rings. This was taken less than a week after I got the lift & tires/wheels installed.
