Help, need some advice!
I want to lift my stock 2013 Jeep Wrangler 2.8 CRD Moab, to mount 33-35" tires, andkeep all the rest original bumpers etc. Not sure if the (Rubicon) wheels willbe OK, so I need some help of experienced members!
I drivemostly highway miles, so a decent drivability is very important for me.

Read the sticky at the top of this forum https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...-lifts-288269/
There are a lot of companies that make RHD CRD compatible lifts. Teraflex and AEV both do. You don't technically need to lift your jeep to fit 33-35" tires, just some wheel spacers and some strategic trimming.

Thanks, but I want to keep everything original, so some lift will be required!
This is what I would like to achieve...

That looks like a 3.5" lift with 20 inch wheels and 35s. It also has AEV bumpers.
You do need to have the correct backspacing on the wheels, typical is 4.5" for a 35x12.5 tire. You can get that with a 1.5" wheel spacer and your stock wheels. Depending on country or state/province you may not be allowed to run spacers.

It's just an example... we cant stick more then 3cm/ 1,25" out of the fenders, so that's a point of concern too!
Spacers is no problem...
I also want to level it! Could a 2" spacer kit from AEV do the job?

Generally speaking, you want a 1.5" hub centric wheel spacer. At that width you will clear the wheel studs without the need to trim the studs which isn't generally recommended. Running spacers is like running a second wheel, you must be doubly mindful and careful to torque all fastener correctly and evenly.

You could put a couple washers on your steering stops. I run the AEV 2" spacer lift with 285 70R17 Duratracs on the stock wheels with no rubbing. I put 2 washers on both the drivers and passenger side steering stops.
