Hey guys i just got a 2013 unlimited with 33" tires. I want to put a lift on it probably around 2-3 inches. What are your reccomendations?

 

Totally depends upon what kind of driving you're going to do. Are you mall crawling, light off road, or do you want to take on heavier wheeling?

BTW....welcome!!

 

Mainly light off roading.....and thanks excited to join

 

Okay...light offroad. Cool. What about a budget boost. They're cheap, easy to install (or cheap to install if you want someone else to do it), and look nice. Until very recently, I had a Teraflex 2" budget boost and gave it a nice looking lift. If you don't go over 3 inches, you don't have to worry about changing out driveshafts. If you go over that magic number, then you should really think about driveshafts as well. But for light off road, a budget boost works great. With that lift, you can easily go up to a 33" tire without rub. Oh, and it keeps the factory ride as well.

 

Rennerkade,

As has been said, it all depends on how you plan on using the Jeep. A BB will work just fine for wanting to run a 33" or even a 35" with some light trail riding. If you plan on running some harder trails, look into a 2.5"-3" coil lift. That will give you the lift you want, and some more off-road performance. A coil lift will also make your on-road ride a little better, because the spacers will make it ride a little rougher.

There are a ton of great brands out there for both kinds of lifts. If you want to stick to a BB, check out the Teraflex 2.5" BB. This comes with all the necessary parts to install it, and will let you use your stock shocks. There is also one available that comes with new shocks if you don't want them to limit your travel.

If you want to go the coil spring route, check out the Teraflex 2.5 Lift Kit. It also comes with all the hardware needed to install it. There are 2 versions of this kit as well, one with and one without shocks. As I said before, you at least want to run a shock extension bracket so that the shocks aren't going to limit the lift kit.

I hope this info helps you out, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
