Looking for input of 2020 Sport 2.5 inch lift w/ 35 inch tires

[Bobby Blethen]

Trying to do research on the build for my 2020 sport. Im leaning towards a 2.5 inch lift, keeping the 17" wheels and putting 35in tires on. Has anyone done this and had any clearance issues with their wheel well? Any suggestions for suspension? This would be more of a daily driver with monthly trail trips but not loads of crawling. Thanks!

Look through the lift threads and youll find your answers on rubbing issues.

Can't go wrong with RK or MC. Seems like a lot of people here like Rustys. Why not go the Mopar lift so you keep factory warranty/can get the lift serviced and warrantied at your dealership?

You may want spacers if you don’t have the wider max tow axles. Otherwise I wouldn’t expect any clearance issues.

As long as the kit you're looking at actually gets you 2.5" of lift or a little more, you would have no issues clearing 35's! I know with our kits at least, we always tell customers 2.5" on a sport for 35's and 3.5" for 37's. Where you might encounter a problem is the tires rubbing against the control arms if you plan on using the stock wheels, and a wheel spacer may be necessary. Besides that, you should be good to go! Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions always happy to help!

Couldn't find 35s I wanted. These are 305 70r/17s. They are 34 1/4" tall. XD FMJ137s are the wheels. A little rub when turning in reverse. Otherwise amazing. Love it

After looking at the Mopar site, it may be a good option just to go with their kit. Appreciate the info!

Looks Great! Whats the offset on the wheels? Did you not use any spacers?

2021 Sport S Max tow with Mopar 2" lift and true 35x12.50x17's. Very happy with the look / stance. Doesn't have much rake. Will install 3/4" spacers when I do the winch bumper to keep it level

No spacers whatsoever. Its a nine and a half inch wheel and I believe a ten and a half inch tire. I didn't want any issues. Those numbers are width.

@mtudb24 I’m considering similar to what you did, except I want to keep stock wheels. Do you have any rubbing at all? With sway bar disconnected? Full articulation?
Thanks.
