tire shopping!

They look hungry.
Feed them.

They'll be fed soon! Question for you - I'm going for a budget boost after I get the tires mounted. You think a 2 or 2.5 in. lift would work well with these tires? I don't want to go too high so I'm leaning towards 2 in. as of now. Thoughts?

255s on stock wheels don't need a lift at all. So it's up to you.
If it's just for aesthetics, go low. If you really have a concern about break-over and departure angles, go higher.
When I get around to it, I'll just go with Synergy's 1 or 2 inch. I don't really need height and enjoy my fuel economy. But I do travel heavy when I go on extended boondoggles and need more spring.

I just hate how the front of the JKU sags and I would like to level it out. I don't need a huge lift and can't stand seeing a JKU, or any rig for that matter, lifted 6 inches with 37s that never sees the places it's meant to. I'll look around at some more options tonight but more importantly will post a pic once the tires are on!

Hey kojack,

I don't mean to be a pain but do you have any more pictures of your rig with the kit and tires installed?

 

[kojackJKU]

Lemme look, I do have a few more somewhere.

Here is mine next to a stock 2011 rubicon, You can easily see the difference in height between my rig and the stock rubi.

Exactly what I wanted to see. Looks perfect. Thanks!

 

[kojackJKU]

It looks even better in person. And the price can't be beat

So what do you think? I love them so far. Also can tell a little bit of a height increase as I got in.

Definitely not a Rubicon. Definitely not a 2011 either. Newest that could be is a 2009, since it's an X.

Yes, I thought it was, I just took the code, after I saw the photo I remembered it was. Ha ha. Still very noticeable lift on my side regardless. Jku87, the tf leveling kit would be perfect for your rig. You can install it yourself without removing the wheels.
