new 08 Rubicon for wife
Hi
I just bought a new 08 JK 4 door Rubicon for the wife. Wife has never been 4X4ing. Last time I went 4X4 was 10 plus years ago. I would like to add new wheels and tires 35s on the Jeep and keep the suspension. What would be the best bodylift or suspsion lift to accomplish this?? What would be the best wheel and tire combination including back spacing. Any help would be great. We live in Tucson and the jeep would be a daily driver and we would be using it for 4X4ing on the weekend.
Thanks

Here is some information that should help. MODIFIED TECH FAQ
A good 3" suspension lift like the TeraFlex will clear 35" tires. You will probably want 4.5" of back spacing of less on your wheels and that should clear most everything on your JK.

I love my Fabtech lift
Every thing you will need very nice kit.
I run 35" tires and have no problems on or off the road.
The good thing is you use your existing suspension so that the drive stays the same

A little expensive,but worth the money

I'll tell you what I would do...
2.5" Teraflex BB, 1" body lift, 35x12.5 BFG KM2's, stock wheels, and 1.5" Spidertrax wheel spacers.
Should give you a nice, balanced look with plenty of flex.
