Looking for someone with 2" Lift w/ 35 & 37s

[Blucid]

My Rubicon... with Mopar 2" lift and 35's that actually measure 34.5" total height 78 inches or 6' 6" to the tallest area near the back of the hard top.

Did some measurements and im trying to figure out how you got 5 inches from stock height with 35s and a 2 in lift.

Right now stock height with the 33's is about...

Stock Height @ Roof Line // 73 in
Stock Height @ RTT Roof Line // Roughly Under 78 in

Garage is 82 in, so after the lift and tires it needs to be slightly under 82 in. I have about 4 inches to play with. The original plan was 2'in Lift with 35's, but im actually thinking I can do 37's

You can.
Just get the Teraflex 1.5" spacer kit for the frint and the 3/4" Daystar rear spacer for a total of $140 and you will be set. 37" tires plus the spacer lift will net you about 3" of lift. Which is what you are looking for.

This is exactly what I am running on my Rubicon and it works perfectly.

Whatever you want to know I will check and measure for you.....

+++ IM REALLY SORRY SOME ARE BLURRY I WAS HOLDING THE TAPE AND TAKING THE PICTURES +++

Heres what I've got. Both are Rubicons with identical tires and on the same size 20" rims.

Falken M/T 35's that measure 34 1/2 (picture 2)

Blue one is stock height...... and grey one is 2" Mopar lift.

No other suspension mods like additional spacers.... Still has factory rake.

The front fender picture was taken with the tape in the center of each wheel.

Door pictures are of grey front driver door and blue was front passenger door.

As to how I got 5" ........ EASY, I gave you the wrong number>>> looks like I said 6' 6" and its closer to 6' 5" I guess I didn't look closely or maybe I rounded up?

Anyways hope this helps!

Whats the wheel offset? Looks very balanced. I just measured mine Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they are only 33.75 in height.

One is 0 offset and the other is -12....... Don't ask me which number is on which wheel, I don't remember and they look identical from the sides as far as poking out and no rubbing turning the wheel lock to lock, and in the off roading Ive done no rubbing in the fenders.

Very helpful. Few questions.
Does it retain full flex in off-road with 2" lift and 37s?
How is the ride quality on the lift kit?

To answer your questions....

Its not 37's... its 35's as I stated in the post. They measure 34.5" tall.

Second, as far as your full flex question.... I dont know if I "full flexed" it but in the off-roading I've done in my 6k miles, like I stated, no rubbing with the steering, when turning lock to lock... and no rubbing inside the fenders.

Last, The ride quality is great, and have had no issues.

Hope this helps.

You have ben summoned from the 2 years ago. Still on the same lift/tire setup? Any added weight in the back?

My garage is 82 Inches at the opening and can not be modified.
I am running 33s right now @ stock height, I am wondering what the height difference is between a 2" Lift with 35s and or 37s. I have a RTT on the back and there is about 4 inches left between the top of it and the garage opening.

I have the Mopar 2" lift and 35X12.50 R 17s and the height at the top of my hard top is 75".

My 35X12.50 R 17 Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrains are only 33.75, and the height at the rear of my OEM hardtop is 75" with the Mopar 2" lift. I assume you should factor in the real tire height. There is a lot of variation.

I'm currently just over 35000 miles, same tires are still on it and the same lift... nothing different since that post and no extra weight in the back.

Even back then.... when shopping for tires, many different brands were calling tires 35's and were anywhere between 32-35 actual inches. I went with the Falkens because they were so close to 35" and that they were an factory brand tire. Same goes for sizing 37's and 40's. A small 37, and a large 35 can be only 3/4 actual difference. You have to measure an actual tire yourself or go to the tire manufacturers website to see their specs.

I considered the Falkens too, but they're pretty heavy.

How much rake do you have in the back? What would you imagine would happen with about 400 pounds in the bed do to the level and drivability?

Yeah, I agree....But I haven't seen many other good options that seem to compete with the A/T3W. I guess one could get a winter tire and a summer tire set - that gets expensive though.....

I have no idea "how much rake" I have...? There is a rake from front to back.

I can take more pictures or measure if that somehow would help you?

If you really want to know how much it will drop, why don't you go to a "garden center" at a Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, that has a forklift. Find a guy, say "are you a truck guy.... I need help." Tell him you want to see the sag of 400lbs in the bed of your truck and offer him $40 to place a palate (if it fits) of something (fertilizer, pavers, etc...) that is the weight you want and tell him it will just be for a minute while you measure the drop.... do a before the weight, and after its in. Maybe snap a few quick pics before and after too.

Otherwise maybe find a guy with a quad and ramps... they got to be 400lbs or more?

Maybe these better pictures will help?

Good Luck
