You would likely be fine. That's a 33.5" tire. If it was me, I'd still do the 2.5, but that's just me.

I'm good with running spacers even the leveling kit. I just want to know if that would be enough or would I need to run a full 2-2.5" lift being 285/75/r17 compared to 285/70/r17.

Youll be completely fine with spacers



With the 75 it'll be fine?

Used to have a jeep. Then sold it for a Tacoma. You should do the same.

I run that tire... the 70, with a leveling kit & without wheel spacers. No rubbing. Well I did run that... just traded the 14 model in on a 17.

Absolutely. Only thing that'll come close is the plastic wind guard on the bottom of the stock bumper. But you should remove that anyway

Had a '99, '07, and now a '16 and have zero regrets. It'll be the next vehicle I purchase as well. Sounds like you may have issues with driving a real vehicle, honestly.

? They’re actually massive, unreliable money pits. Post a thread titled “should I buy a jeep or XXX?” and see the responses.

Jeeps are the new go-to for single women aged 20-40 who "love adventures". You know, like to Panera or Target.

Any man that owns a Jeep is over compensating more than your average King Ranch owner.

You're missing your Jeep, causing you to post in a thread addressed to Jeep owners, it's okay. I'm sure you'll get another one some day. We'll welcome you back with open arms.

I’ll pass. The days of replacing radiators, gaskets, and even engines are over. Cheers to you though for sticking with a vehicle so unreliable though!

I didn't buy your Jeep. Not sure if I said something to make you think that. It's difficult to text and drive with no doors.

I just put nitto trail grapplers and a 2 inch terra flex lift on my 13 jku. Rides like crap. Looks good, but rides horrible.

Keep it stock!

I have a Grand Cherokee. I love it. That's all I've got for you.

Hopefully you weren’t expecting better ride quality by putting that lift and heavier mud tires on your Jeep. If you bought the lower end kit and didn’t replace springs and shocks you should do so it will help. Hard to get ride comfort when you put an E rated 10ply mud tire on any vehicle.
