I recently bought a used '21 Rubicon with super low miles and the previous owner installed an AEV 2″ Spacer Lift on it. It's obvious the previous owner put his never-used stock wheels and tires back on it when he traded it in. I had always planned on installing a 2.5" Teraflex Alpine Suspension Lift Kit with 35" tires on my new Rubicon when I finally purchased one. I had a 2.5" Teraflex Suspension lift on my previous 2-door JK Sahara and loved it.

After taking my JT Rubicon on a couple of trails here in the Colorado mountains with my previous JK's 33" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's on it, I'm thinking I might just add a set of 35" Baja Boss A/T's and call it good with the AEV 2" Spacer lift. I'm all about overlanding out here in the Rocky Mountains (ie. Big Bear Pass, Mosquito Pass, etc), but I have no intentions of rock crawling.

Are there any major advantages of a 2.5" Teraflex Alpine Suspension Lift Kit (or similiar) vs the AEV 2" Spacer Lift when it comes to the Rubicon model? I'm sure if we were talking about a Sport model it'd be a different discussion.

I would run the spacer lift as is until you figure out its limitations if there are any.

If your not going to push it hard, you will more than likely find the spacer totally fine with a 35.

For your stated case use, if you are happy with the spacer lift, leave it be.
