So what is the PROPER lift for a stock Rubi and Steel bumpers/winch?
I don't want to lose any flex performance due to the wight of the Bumpers...
So, I'm looking for a coil lift? which one should I get!?

Many people run anywhere from 32's to 35's tires with this system.
Last week in Moab I spent a lot of time with a JKU Rubicon with the 4" SPORT system and I was very impressed by what it did.

If you have an other questions feel free to ask or PM me.
Good luck in your choice.
4" lift? isn't that to much for a stock Rubi!?
(Can you please PM me the price? Thanks)

Most any of the coil suspension lifts will have stronger springs to handle the performance of heavy duty bumpers, so that shouldn't be anything to be too concerned about.

As mentioned, a lot of people have had success with the 2.5" lift (seems to be the basic lift to get) and using stock or near stock sized tires with the steel bumpers.

The hard part you going to have, is which Lift Company to go with. My JKU is in the shop right now having a Rough Country 2.5" Coil Lift installed. Like you I'am staying with my 32" Tire's for now till they ware out , then my go to 33" tire's which is as big as I'll go. No need for 35" tire's on a DD that goes offroad once a month , and will not be doing any Heavy rock wheeling

Here's a Teraflex Leveling Kit and 33.5" Toyo's. I like it a lot, and it works great on the trail.

Oh, and that's a full-width Warn bumper w/ winch on the front & Mopar rear bumper w/ carrier on the rear.
