My 08 Rubicon Unlimited has the rake of a "Drag Car" 1" difference between fenders and rubber, 1 3/4" difference between front and rear pinch seams.

I'm putting a 2" Poly Lift from Black Diamond and 33" rubbers.

1. Anyone that can tell me if the BD lift has a little extra in the front to level it out, or will I need to use an additional spacer in front?

2. Also, if I need an additional spacer what size and will I have to do an adjustable track bar?

3. Any way in hell to stuff 35's under there?

I have read just about every post related I could find, and it seems that everyone has a different experience. That leads me to think that there is a very large difference between vehicles, even of the exact configuration. Thats a little odd for a machine being made by robots, isn't it???

Any help is appreciated, especially by someone with first hand experience with this lift.

Thanks folks.

I have the 2" Black Diamond on my 2 door and have been happy with it.

To answer your ???'s

1. The black Diamond BB does have larger spacers in the front than the rear to help with the rake.

2. If it still does not take all the rake out you can leave the front stock 1" spacers in above the BD spacers. You don't need an adjustable track bar but it is up to you with how much axle shift you are willing to live with. I just have the BD spacers in right now with the stock track bars and my axles are offset about 1/4".

3. If the lift does take out the rake, leave the stock spacers in and you can prossibly stuff 35's under there. If you do add extra spacers definetly add either extended break lines or brakeline drop brackets, at full flex mine are pretty tight without the extra spacers, especially the rear.

Jeepin Dad -
Thanks for all the info, big help making my decision, and the pics helped alot also.

I was worried that 33's would not look correct (agressive) but your pics showed me wrong. Your unit looks sick mean, and I mean that in a good way! Since yours are 11.5 and mine would be 12.5 I've decided on going with my first thoughts with the 33x12.5x17 as yours already look great and I want to avoid any rubbing issues and extra stuff like brake brackets and trimming if possible.

I'll post pics on a new thread once the install is done next week.

Again, much thanks.

Glad I be some help, can't wait to see pics. You should consider either fabing or buying some brake line reloacation brackets at least for the rear, after seeing mine the other weekend I have some on the way.
