Hey guys - I upgraded the tires on my jeep, but I feel like something is missing. My first thought is a leveling kit, but I am worried that it may not look completely right with my tires only being ~33's. Any thoughts? Does anybody else have a JKU with ~33" tires and no lift? I tried searching the site, but didn't come up with much.

Thanks in advance guys.

If your going to stick with 33's, maybe a leveling kit. You dont need much more than that with 33's....but I am sure soon you will want 35's and possibly 37's...

I think 33s with a leveling kit looks good

You'll only gain around 1.5" if you only do the front. You'll be happy with it. For now. . .

Right. I don't think we NEED a leveling kit. But I'm thinking it may make our jeeps look better?

You should check out the "Ready Lift 2-3" leveling kit". Nice lift and keeps the same suspension it came with. I am going to install it too. Came highly recommended to me by a few guys I trust.

I ordered 18x9 KMC Rockstar Wheels and planned to install Nitto 275/70/18 tires. They should arrive on Wednesday of this week. I was thinking about adding 2inch coil spacers to give it the finishing touch.

There's a thread in the Show & Tell section. Search for 33's no lift. IMO 33's with no lift look good and fill out the wheel wells nicely.
