You can run 34s with just the leveling kit with no rub?

I tun 35s, no rub at all. Swapped the sport coils with ones from a 4 door Rubi and cut my fenders. Coils cost me 60 bucks and gave me 2" of lift. I did pick up some aftermarket shocks. Money saving way to go till ya get a real lift

Was 60 bucks for the coil swap, if you found some rubi take off shocks be around 120. It leveled my jeep too, no more rake

I do get some rub but only under extreme articulation. Wheel backspacing plays a good role weather or not you'll clear. In my opinion a 34" tall tire fits a 2" lift perfect. I debated 33 or 35 for along time and came to the conclusion that a 33, to me dosnt look big enough and a 35 kill's power so much so I just split the difference. And with this particular tire is only 54 lb's per tire were stock is 44lb's a mud terrain can be upwards of 80 to 90 lb's which has a lot to do with people's power loss. The power loss was not significant and I realize the difference between the tire sizes is minimal but im ocd on things looking right. Sorry to rant.

Buy some take off coils either 18/59s or 19/60s (19/60s kinda hard to find) and some Rubicon take off shocks. Should be 120 bucks or less, throw em on and 33s will be fine. If you want 34 or 35s trim the fenders and you'll be set. That's my set up, was very cheap and does amazing wheeling
