I have a Rubicon Express 2.5" bb suspension lift and love it! I'm running 33x11.50" Terra grappler Nitto tires and love the way my jeep turned out! Perfect for every day driving and occasional fun heres the link to the lift >> Rubicon Express 2.5" Budget Boost Suspension System | Jeep Parts and Accessories | Quadratec

I haven't heard that about the coils. I did my research (like obsessed over it haha) before doing anything to mine and the guy that did all of my installations is a family friend who works at a dealership and does installs on jeeps and trucks and he didn't see anything wrong with me changing out my bumpers or anything else I want to do. You don't want to have coils that are too stiff or your ride will be rough and stiff. Whenever my lift came, I was highly impressed with how sturdy the coils were. I am extremely pleased with my jeep (after a year of doing research and stressing over it)

Thank you for this information... I spent a bunch of time thinking about lifts. I was actually only looking to upgrade my shocks from the crappy stock shocks and get better handling on the trails but then got sucked into lifts and tires. I finally settled on a 2" Mopar lift with wheel adapter and 34" tires. For what I do it is plenty. Definitely a part timer off road.
Again... thanks for this info and I am glad to see a lift post that doesn't get into cost or warranty buy the 3rd reply

I finally took of the Daystars 0.75" coil spacers (all around) and put Daystars 1.75" coil spacers (all around). Didn't have to change anything else for now but will put JKS quick disco next. Thanks a lot for the help on this thread
First pic is 0.75" (33" tires) and second is 1.75" (33" tires)

I have a 2.5 inch lift with 33s and stock gears in an auto 08 Sahara.
Basically I just want to improve my rig the right way, its my DD but have started going to the trails every weekend (nothing to crazy) have done flat fenders, bumpers all that stuff. Now time to improve my drive line.
