So I have a stock Rubicon automatic 2010, I want to lift it with a 3.5-4.5 inch lift. and either put it up on 33's or 35's. I understand this is what I need;
1. The lift kit
2. A new front drive shaft
3. New gearing if I go on 35's
4. A new Adjustable track bar
5. Rear sway bar adjustments?


For this project I am on a little budget, so I need a little help getting these items at a good price, for a good product. I have been on the site a while now, and can't decide. First of all, do I need to take anything off the list, or add anything to it? For the Lift I was thinking the rough country lift, with different shocks. Thoughts and Please suggest some items please, thanks and Merry Christmas, and happy holidays.

If you go with 2.5", you should still fit 33s, and new shocks.

4.5 is way overkill for 35s. I like 2.5 with flat fenders for 35s but that's just me. Lots of routes you can take but you definitely won't need 3.5-4.5

2.5" to 3.5" perfect for 35's. I wouldn't go over 2 1/2" for 33's

X2 I agree ethic Ryan. Stay 2.5. Look good, functions well and maintains lower cost.

Damn spell check. Meant with Ryan.

Well then with that said and done, I came up with maybe the 3.5 pro lift from AEV, I guess its a good lift and includes everything you need. Or I was thinking the Rock krawler 3.5 lift. both around the same exact price. Any thought on that?

The RK is an awesome lift. Warrantied forever and their customer service is A1.

So this is what I am thinking now, the RK 3.5 mid arm lift on 35's and if I still have money left over, get the fox 2.0 tuned shocks. With the Rk kit I get just about everything I need except the front drive shaft. Now, if I buy this lift and a front drive shaft, its perfectly fine to run the stock tires for a while right? Also, I am a really good Handy man that welds, and is very precise about everything, should I do this lift with a few friends or have it professionally installed?

The 3.5 RK mid arm is a complete bolt on, but the 3.5 X plus mid arm has the rear 3 link, which requires welding the rear truss and upper rail. The welds for it are straight forward. Talk to our Rep. He has all your answers.
