Those that have 2.5" lift running 35's - Please Post Pix
I've searched and I know folks are running this setup, but I could not find JKs running this setup. I would really like to see your rigs and hear your comments on this setup, PROs & CONs......I'm very close to pulling the plug on the lift and wheels, I'm waitng for my 35 BFG Muds to arrive..
Thanks in advance.
Hey, if you guys running the 3" lift want to chime and tell me the pros and cons of those setups, I would greatly appreciate that as well.
Keep in mind, my interest in the BB over the 3" is mostly due to my lack of serious wheeling, mud and sand is all my JK will probably ever see.
Thanks

i'm very interested in this too. My jk shows up next week, and as soon as i get it in my driveway i'm ordering wheels and tires. It will be the 2.5'' BB with either 34s or 35s...with wheel spacers of course.

Here's a few shots of my JK with a TeraFlex 2.5" Budget Boost and 35" Pro Comp Xtreme M/T's...
Click here to see a few more pics
Pros:
• Super cheap and comes complete with everything you need
• Will clear 35" tires
• Ride is exactly the same as stock
Cons:
• Some rubbing of the fenders may occur at a full flex
• Articulation is limited a bit but totally acceptable
• Axles will be shifted over a bit but not by much
Please let me know if you have any other questions

I am concerned about the same thing. I placed the order for 20" wheels, 35" Nitto MG tires, and a 2.5" SkyJacker lift today but canceled it because I just learned Skyjacker is no longer making red parts....they're all black. I wonder though what I will do if after installing the said parts I get a lot of rub. I can't go bigger on the lift because of the warranty and with the large wheels I won't be able to go smaller tires. What can I do if, in fact, there ends up being some rubbing?
Wayoflife, How wide are the tires on that Jeep? VERY NICE BY THE WAY!! My tires are 12.5" but actually measure a little less and are a little less than 35" tall so I think I'll be OK but the guys at the shop keep telling me the lift won't work for shoes that big.......I see it done everywhere though.....just like the above pictures.
Am I making a mistake??

IF I CAN GO 3" or 4" WITHOUT VOIDING THE WARRANTY.....SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM THIS FOR ME......I'M ABOUT TO MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE IF I ( the guys at the dealership) AM WRONG!!
Thanks Guys!!
No Joke....now I have to buy an old kit off ebay or something. My rims have red inserts and I have lots of other red accents so red coils are a MUST!! Who else makes red coils?? Anyone?? Any other 2.5" lifts with all red components?

Not my research but this was posted in another thread...
Federal Warranty Laws
1.The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))
This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of the law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle maker's brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided. The law states in relevant part:
“No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name...” (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)).
