Which lift kit is right?
Hello all,
I have a 2012 JKU and I want to put 35 on it. Will a 3" lift work for this? I have been looking but have not found a lot of kits for 2012. Also will I need to change the gear ratio for 35's. Thank you in advance for any input you guys can give me.

A 2.5 lift will work with 35s if you bumpstop correctly if you trim your fenders no aftermarket bumpstops are needed. I don't know anything about the 2012s gearing wise so that question would be better answered by someone else.

We have a great 3.5" JK suspension lift . Though it would be best to know what type of wheeling you plan on doing. If trails, hill climbs and a few minor obstacles are in your future this kit with sway bar disconects would be great. If hardcore is in you plans then a new game plan would be needed.

you will not need to regear at all on the 2012. The motor has plenty of power. Whats your budget for a lift kit, and what do you plan on doing with your jeep? Fire roads, rock crawling or mostly highway?
