hey guys my names cooper i work with jarred at bell honda and i just bought a jeep and am lookin for a lift rims and tires. i was thinkin bout goin 3 or 4 inches and i will have about 2000 to 2500 to spend. wat would be your recamendations?

First off, I'm sorry.
Second welcome to the Jeep world.
So what lift and tires eh? Well what do you plan to be doing with your Jeep? How much off road will it see and what kind of trails would they be?
Jeeps are crazy capable out of the box, so have you figured out what it can do as it is yet?

x2 on what mike said.

Tell us a little more about the jeep.

Bought a rubicon
Thought 3" would be enough with 33's
got 2" more with 35's
now if I just one more inch........
good luck....plan for the future if you can. I would never do that is not a jeep thing

A friend has a set of 33" MTR's on rims he was looking at selling, I can find out more if you are interested.

well i will try to get my jeep off road as much as i can ive takin it off into the desert b4 but it wasnt much just like driving in some sand. i would like to do as many differnt trails as i have time for around here. i have an 04 TJ soft top half doors automatic trans.

What kind of trail would you like to do?

I like Rock Krawler and RE for lifts. You can always do a long arm kit don't the road if you want. If you want to do 33's and just run with that for a while I would do a 4" lift. Make sure you do the SYE...

With 33's you don't "need" to regear yet. What rear do you have? D35 of D44?

Yep RE and Rock Krawler make good stuff. Another brand Ill throw out there that I really like is Clayton. One thing I would reccomend is that you go with a long arm kit. I know its needed right now on 33's but I bet that after a few years of wheelin you will get the urge to goto bigger tires and you will appreciate the added on road handling the long arm kit will give you

This is how mine is setup.

Rubicon Express 4.5" short arm Superflex kit tho I have changed the rears to 5.5" due to weight. I have the SYE and a woods CV shaft and I am running 33" ProComps. ProComp Gas shocks on the rear and std es3000's on the front. It works real good for me but the added inch of the 35's does help. Glad to answer any questions about this setup tho. I bent my font fenders this weekend from stuffing the tires in too deep, the flex of this kit is amazing.

now just save up a little more and we'll get you set up with some custom bumpers and a tire carrier :-)

and i would be intrested in those rims and tires that ur friend is selling AZlugz

I am running the RE 3.5 SF and I love it. I also have 33/12.5 BFG M/T. I love this set up but I do regret that I didn't go with a long arm kit. It cost a bit more but if your going to spend the money I would get it. I love my kit it performs great but just thought I would put my opinion out there. Also like Fatbob said don't forget the SYE. When I purchased mine it cost close to 500 extra. This is a neccesity a lot of people don't realize that they need. If you have any questions about my set up just ask I should be able to help with most of it.

yea so i ended up ordering a RE 3.5 superflex. now im just waiting on jarred to hook me up and get me a good price on rims and tires.
