Opinions please... eye appeal, lift for 35" tires on JT Rubicon. Moderate trails

[Jonny A]

Hi all.
I currently have 35" BFG T/A. Tires on a 2020 JTR. Stock, no lift. Looks nice. But I do wish for a little more height. Would a 2" lift like a MOPAR lift be noticeable, or is that only noticeable on Sports and Overlands?
I am happy with handling and fuel mileage as is. I am happy with factory rake, just a little height overall I would like. But I don't want it to look like my wheels are too small.
Any thoughts?

I think a 2" would look good. I have 2.5" Evo springs (which are more like 3.5") on my Sport (lower fenders), and I like the way my 35's look. And at full stuff they barely touch my fenders, even with 10" wide wheels.

I have a 2020 JTR and I went with the 1.5" Teraflex front and .75 daystar rear spacer lift. You still have some rake for towing but makes the 35" tires look just right. I struggled and considered buying a lift but I love the ride of my JTR. As funny as it sounds I am so impressed at the ride and handling of my Rubicon. My biggest concern is what will I sacrifice in comfort should I lift it. I run 35" BFG K02's now but when they wear out I will go to the Nitto Ridge Grappler like I had on my JK. I absolutely love driving my JTR.

Here is a picture with my boat loaded so you have an idea.

My buddy did the 2" Mopar with 35" M/T's.

I'm in the same boat and will start with the 1.5" Teraflex front and .75" daystar rear spacers. This is about $150 so if I want more later I can get a 2" or 2.5" lift. Easier than $2000 on a lift and then you want to downsize.

Any lift you do 1.5”-2.5” will look good with 35’s
Icon 2.5 stage 8

Rubicon, 2” AEV lift, Nitto Trail Grappler 35X11.50.
I find that it looks as it should have from factory with the lift.

Try this, you'll get your lift, get the look you want, and keep most of your money in your pocket.
Keep in mind, if you decide you want to REALLY go offroad, this isn't the way.

Do you have a leveling kit on this one too or just the 2" mopar kit?

 

[OldButStillJeeping]

As originally posted for 'eye appeal"; I say lift it 2".
Go cheap if not an off-roader. Spend more if you use it off-road.

As for being noticable. You will. Visually it will look better for all.

Thank you all for the suggestions and photos.

I have 1/2” spacer up front.

+1 on the Icon Lift with 37's. Personally I think it drives better now than stock. It was the first I've ever used the Icon lift and now I'm even contemplating replacing the AEV DualSport XT lift on my JKUR's.
