Lift on stock 32 MT's?

[dakota.morgan91]

I have a Willy's....How much do you think I could lift it without looking super goofy on stock tires? I wanted to re-gear before going larger on the tires, but cant yet due to budget constraints. I do however need something, tired of scraping the skid plate on the mild trails around me.
I was considering 2-3 inches.

Any type of lift on stock tires will look goofy.

This is the JKS lift (3.5 front 2 rear) with factory Sport S wheels and tires. Your factory Willy will have about .5in taller tire, but I still think it would look odd. Mine sure did before the 35s

I was afraid you would say that

you know what, picturing the willy's tires on that..... I think I could stomach it until I can regear and get 35's... There is hope for my cheap ass mentality lmao

I think AEV 2” spacer lift with stockers isn’t too bad. Let me find a pic of another members.....

That’s what I thought about mine until the lift was on lol If you want to sit level you could consider the Teraflex 1.5 kit up front until you are ready to change tires out and regear. A pretty common suspension setup is the Mopar lift with the Teraflex 1.5 kit on top to take out the rake of the Mopar lift. You can adjust the Teraflex kit to 1 or 1.5 inches of lift up front. That way you aren’t wasting money on a smaller lift than you want and you get to save up for the tires and gears. Honestly, I would love to put 4.56 gears in mine for the 35s, but with the 8-speed I don’t feel that I NEED it. I know I would be happier on the highway with lower gears, but I can live with 3.73 gears for now. $2000 regear is expensive and is not in my budget at the moment.

One could say that it looks goofy even at stock height on stock tires.

Here is @RCKLNDR before with AEV spacer lift and stocks. I don’t mind it at all

I went the other route. 33s with no lift for this very reason. Eventually I will lift and do 35s and probably a re gear as I have 3.73.

It may not help, but here is a comparison with 35s. It could easily fit 37s, but that was more cash that I didn’t want to spend.

Looks great! What’s the spec on those wheels?

Tires are 295/70/17 Falken Wild Peak MT. They're a bit bigger than 33.
Rims are Black Rhino Armory with a -18 offset.
