I ran 2" coil spring lift and some longer bump stops on my '04 Rubicon when it had 33s. It rode well, and performed great of the trails.

SYE kit? What is that? I posted on another forum and they suggested I get a whole bunch of other stuff to reduce CV wear and some other stuff. I think I'll just get 31's, less complications.

go big or go home! but 33's will be fine with a 2" lift. shouldn't have any problems. there is minor things you could do to fix tour steering geometry and axle alignment and stuff to prevent wear but none of it is really necessary until you go bigger than 33s or higher than 2"s. Do it!!!:thumb::rock::rock::rock:

33s and locked, you will be amazed the places you can go. As for the SYE (slip yoke eliminator), if you go over 3.5" you'll start to experience drivetrain vibes. This will help fix it but you will also need a new driveshaft. A 2" lift will not create a steep enough angle for you to need a SYE or new driveshaft.
This was 2" with the hockey pucks on the coil buckets. Front sway bar disco'd, rear still connected an stock shocks.

wow didn't notice that. I'm just used to almost everyone on here having a JK. But i think everything else I said still applies...

The 2" spacer lift for 33's is confusing to me. I'm not doubting the comments here, but I don't understand how they avoid clearance issues... especially on stock backspacing. Occasionally I would even rub my old 31's when I had a 2" BB, and that's with 3.5" backspacing (swaybar disco'd).
Edit: I suppose enough bumpstop extension would do it...
IMO the nicest complete "kit" for 33" tires is the OME Ultimate kit from dpgoffroad. The included MML addresses the drive line vibe issue (pre tummy tuck) & the small body lift allows room for a tummy tuck someday. You'll have all the clearance you need for 33's, and much better ride quality than stock.

He has a JK. On it, you can easily clear 33's with just 2" of lift. On a TJ, you need more.

For 33s I would recommend 2-3.5 inches total lift. If you want a good overall system grab some 2" lift coils, a 1-1.25" BL, and some new ca's (I prefer jjs on both ends). That'll be nasty for 33s and with proper bumpstops will be also great for 35s.

you can use a Daystar kit and you will not have to change steering geometry, and or driveshafts, , there is a kit for TJ/LJ's that if you want to run a bigger tire you can do a highline fender kit , it will run about $1000 because you change out the fender wells, I have seen guys run a 38 TSL with a 2" daystar kit and this fender set up. If you want to go a cheaper route you can take the stock fender and move it up by trimming the fenderwell and bolting the fender up 1 inch and trim the hood. You also have to trim the inner well and drill some holes, Do what you want but the Daystar kit takes about 1 hour to install and you can run a 33 no problem

Oh dear god, this is starting to be too much :crazyeyes: hahaha for now I think Ill just stick with stock ride height but eventually I may work my way up to 33's. I dont got the need nor the budget for all this.... Which is a bummer
LOL!! Trust me, a 2" BB is cheap and easy to install. A 1" BL even easier. Both can be done in about a day and it'll get you clearing 32's-33's and without needing to address your rear drive shaft. Here are a couple of write-ups that will help you out:

Hahaha thanks, the other thing thats a bit of an issue right now is the money. Im 17 with a part time job and dad sure as hell aint going to pay for 33's and it will take me stupid long to save up for them. Maybe later in life when I have a job
