Default My New Rubi Needs A Lift

Well fellow JKers I picked up my brand new Silver Rubi yesterday and I still can't get the grin off my face......I think it's going to be there for awhile. I have been out of Jeeps for awhile and have a few questions. I am looking to go to 37" tires and I think I am going to need a 6" lift to fit them and not have to worry about rubbing at all. Any suggestions on a brand? I am also looking at the Nitto Mud Grapplers, is anyone one running these and if so how do you like them? Are they noisy on the freeway and how well do they wear? If there are any other Southern Alberta JKers out there let me know. Thanks in advance for any help.


Cheers

Mark

A 4.5 to 5" lift should be sufficient to clear 37".

Mark,
Give the "MODIFIED TECH FAQ - Answers to the Questions Every Newbie Has" section posted by WOL in the sticky. It has a lot of very good and specific information concerning all things MOD. Should help you focus your direction into lifts and Wheel/Tire direction.

Check out the "staging area" section of the forum. There are individual boards for separate regions. There are several pages for Canada, so you may find a few folks that are in your area.
