Can I get away without buying HD CVs, gears, axles, etc, with this stage one build up?

2 Door Rubicon


4" lift with shocks (stock control arms)
17x9 wheels with 4.75" backspacing and -6mm offset
37x 13.5 or 12.5 r 17 tires

yeah, if you dont go wheeling. i put 37's on a ft 3" and can drive on road-no problem-

Your driveshafts (rear and maybe front) won't last long on with the 2 door's short wheelbase and steep pinion angle.

You'll likely need adjustable control arms and driveshaft(s) soon.

sorry, didn't notice you have a two door.

That's what I kinda figured. I guess 3" with 35" tires for stage one then.

Ok so new plan how does this sound?

2 door rubicon

3" lift with shocks
17x9 wheels 5" of bs
and 35x12.5 r17 tires

Thanks for the responses so far.

From what I read anything over 2.5" you should begin to think about adding trackbars and such. I guess the 2 door is a little different from 4 doors as far as what you need when lifting and big tires.. Be sure to research before you go with any set up.

Why dont you do the 2.5 and a 1 inch body lift. Thats what im doing.

Thats also what I am doing

I'm not a big body lift fan. The 3" kit I chose is Black diamond with a new front track bar, and I'm going to buy the full traction rear track bar at the same time. I figure If I do the 3" now, I can get some tube fenders later for stage 2 and put on some 37" tires, driveshafts, gears, and axles then.
