[Decarolis]

hey guys im still a newbie at the jeep wrangler thing so i just got a few questions that i couldent find already answered in the other threads............if i get a 2inch lift kit do i need anything else for it because alot of ppl on the forum are talking about arms and stuff and i dont have a clue wat they r going on about

2 inches will be ok, any more and you should have a SYE (slip yoke eliminator and new tail shaft) or motor mount / transfer case block kits.

oh kk thanks for that and is it wat is a recommended wheels size for a 2inch lift, 31,32,33

[TJIM]

mine came with a 2" lift and 31's... when you go bigger, you need to get SYE + tailshaft sorted out and also start looking at re-gearing the hubs to cope with the bigger diameter wheels. torque is affected so is the speedo on the dash so that needs to be tweaked also with a new gear.


more height + bigger tyres.... the higher and bigger you go the more money, time and mods you need.

first figure out how big you want your wheels to be, then plan the lift, gears and other bits and pieces out around that.

Most people would probably recommend 31's with a 2 inch lift. There is heaps of threads been done on tire size and lift height.

32's will just fit but 31's are perfect for a 2" lift.

yerp thats wat i wanted to no....so 31's r perfect thanks for the help guys

you won't stop at 31's :D you cant! its addictive...

I put 33's on my JK and went... hrmm I should have bought 35's!

[Jeeps]

31's are where the skill level is at... any bigger and you lose the ability to pick lines... cause you don't need to... LOL ;)

to add to the beginner question. If you wanted to go higher after a two inch lift could u achieve this by a sye and bumper stops or will your shockies be no good on another half inch gain
