And?

My '08 JK X....

- Rubicon Express 2.0 coil spacer lift with their monotube shocks
- BFG M/T KM2's 285/75-16
- Eagle Alloy 16x8 rims with 4.0" BS

- bottom of bumper to ground = 24"
- bottom of Rubicon OEM rock rails to ground = 20"
- diff clearance = 13"

I had to trim the plastic air dam under the front bumper a little so it would not rub in a full turn. It handles great on the road, but the ride is a noticeably stiffer than stock.


Without lift...



With lift...



No rubbing issues...

Here's what I ended up with. Teraflex 2.5 coil lift, mainly because I did not need a drive shaft mod and it fits a 35 inch tire. Went with the MTR Kelvars on 17x9 XD spys. Need a regear but it drives ok since I added the Superchips programmer. I will have to hit Joe up for the new gears after I recovery from the lift and tire purchase.
