33X10.50s....what lift?
« on: September 30, 2010, 09:54:49 AM »
I have been running 31X10.50s on my 2002 TJ, but I think I want to go to the taller 33X10.50 and lift the Jeep. It is bone stock now...no lift anywhere. What would be the most simple way to make the taller tire fit? I had rather go with something I could do on the cheap for now. Any thoughts?

On the cheap:  budget boost (spacer lift) and 1" body lift.  Some spring lifts are pretty cheap now so one of those might be a good alternative for you too.

i run rough country. 2.5" spring and shock lift will run you under 300 bucks. decent lift for the price and is more complete than just spacers.

I'd spend the money on either a 3" lift or some ACOS.  You can reuse the ACOS with a lift to level out the suspension later on which is really nice.  2" Budget boost and maybe a 1" body lift would get you there as well.

Thanks guys. The more I looked at the lift options the more confused I was getting.
