Default Lift Kit

I looking for a good economical lift. I have a 2013 Sport with 33x 12.5. I want to keep the factory springs. I have just a little rubbing in reverse right now not really a big issue. I live in Florida so I'm mainly playing in the mud and sand.

Thanks

Depends upon what kind of driving you're going to do. No wheeling and just want a little lift, go with a budget boost. Keep it under 3" so you don't have to change out driveshafts. I can tell you my Teraflex have held up under some very heavy wheeling. They'll perform just fine in mud and sand.

Welcome to the forum!

You could do flat flares and keep the same ride you have now.

Sounds like what you want is a coil spring spacer kit like this: Synergy Suspension 8018-175 - Synergy Suspension 1-3/4" Synergy Spacer Kit for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

EDIT: Just noticed that you have rubbing with wider 33" tires. Look at wheel spacers or wheels with less offset, and/or bump stops too.

We have the Warrior Products Tube Steel Fenders.

If you don't want to spend up on flares you could trim your stock flares as well.

Flat/trimmed flares, or a leveling kit will get the job done.
