Question Check my Budget Lift Setup?

Hey guys,

With the tax rebate just around the corner its time to put a little extra $$$ into the jk. This is initially what I had in mind,

(5) Nitto Terragrapplers 295/70R17
(1) AEV Spacer Suspension Lift 2 inch

I don't really do heavy offroad where additional flex is required, mostly just driving around on property/mud/snow. My question is, should I include the procal module to recalibrate the speedometer and will I need spacers to accomodate the new tires?


Thanks,

Alex

Yes on both accounts. The tires might only rub at full lock when turning though.

Will the 2 in spacer kit remove the natural rake like the Teraflex leveling kit?

I was told by AEV that if you remove the factory spring isolator in the rear (as noted in install book) yes their spacer lift will level the JK out

I think you'd only need a 1". I have 285's and I only rubbed my front bumper's air dam. Other than that, even at full lock, I don't rub. Just my 0.02$

You need at least 1.25" to clear the studs

Is that a good idea to remove the isolator? I thought it cut down road noise.
