Jeep Lift Help
Posted on 6/14/16 at 4:07 pm

Wife just got a 2014 Jeep Wrangler 4 door. She doesn't like the stock look of it leaning forward. I was thinking about putting a leveling kit for the 33" Cooper ST Maxx tires we ordered. My neighbor said to put atleast 2.5" suspension lift and bigger tires, but it's geared really low 3:26 I think. It's a daily driver and will not be used for a lot of off-roading. She also doesn't like the look of the wheel well showing with small tires and a lift. What do you guys with jeeps suggest?

honestly the JK(current style) is made for 35's. Now with your gearing, I'd be slightly hesitant, but its not the end of the world with some smaller 35's

But to answer your question, if you just do a front leveling kit then 33" will fill the wheel gap decently, but if you put a 2.5" lift on then you should move up to 35" but will need to regear.

Buy a Teraflex levelling kit - they are about $160 but also include a longer front sway bar link most other spacer kits don't - you can easily run a 33" tire no problem. If it is a daily driver no need for a lift. The 33" Cooper tires will fill out the wheel wells better should look pretty good.

if not flexing, you can fit 35's, depending on how true the run

6" lift with some 37's on a Rubicon and there wasn't much we couldn't make it through at Moab.
Though the tires were pretty worn and weren't much bigger than the 35's on the 2Dr. I want to say it has a 3" lift with 35's but he tucked the fenders on the front and rear.

My wife's JK has a leveling kit and 33's which fit easily. Told her I can't be seen driving that thing like it was stock.

That is the kit I'm looking at, I think it would be the best option also. Thanks for all the help guys!!!

my wife drives a JKU and I put the 2.5 inch teraflex lift on there for her and 35 cooper stt's. The lift wasnt expensive and was pretty easy for me to put on myself, i would definitely recommend it. She also uses it as a daily driver and honestly I barely notice the larger tires impact on acceleration.

Wider rims and 33s will fill up the wheel well better. Just don't go crazy with the 22s I see on some around here. Just looks out of place on a Jeep.

There is a guy with 24's on his, in my office complex. He tries to trash talk me because I dont take the top off mine, despite my doors staying off 9-10 months out of the year.
I'm like, but your wheels....

2.5" lift and 33s on a 2014 JK and it works fine.

Standard or automatic transmission? If you go to 35s with a manual you will burn up the clutch faster getting it rolling.
