Best 2.5-3.5 inch lift with a 5 inch back spacing rim

[Bobatwar]

Hello

I have a JT rubicon with 35x12.5
x17 on a 9 inch rim and wanted to see what was the best lift to get to overland with that will work with 5 in back spacing. Seems lots of lifts needs 4.75 or less any thoughts?

You can run pretty much any lift that doesnt require a drag link flip or offset shock mounts.

For overlanding and a 35” tire? Options are near endless.

- mojave take off’s if you want gucci bypass shocks
- AEV as @Mac mentioned
- An Icon kit
- AEV spacer lift with nicer shocks if you want
- a clayton kit

The list goes on. Just depends on your budget. Keeping the tire tucked to the fender doesnt mean you cant have a grrat driving truck.

Probably not MetalCloak or Rock Krawler because of their offset/backspacing requirements, but pretty much all others.

Thanks for the info was planning to either go Clayton 2.5 or maybe an evo 2.5. I already have 9 inch wide rims with nitto ridge grapplers 35x12.5 so just want to get the best lift possible for a daily driver

I talked to both company and they said rubicon may be ok with 5 inch back spacing but full flex locked may be an issue so idk if I want to chance it

Shoot. The Mopar lift would be fine. Very reasonable spring rates, not over priced for a dealer option, good shocks....add a cheap drive shaft carrier bearing drop and a geo bracket(or longer lca to get caster out) to it and Bob’s your uncle.
