This is my dream JK - simple mods and balanced tough look. 👌

Very nice illustrated video. Helps when making last decisions.

Sounds just what I was thinking of doing to my jk unlimited! I’ll take it all. 😄

Simple and looks good

Looks great..good job

the upgraded track bar makes a big difference in overall tightness in the front end.

I just put the Teraflex 2.5 basic kit on my '09 JKU. The install took me about 6 hours and I'm very happy with the ride afterwards. The suspension feels tight and handles bumps much better than stock. You don't a spring compressor, it can all be done with a couple jack stands and a good jack. I do suggest upgrading the track bar as well, stock is a bit weak as they mentioned. Well worth the price tag in my opinion.

How much would that whole setup parts and labor cost?

Literally exactly what I wanna do to my JK when I get it

My OME coils say 2.5". But no way, these are definitely in the 3 - 3.25" range. Looks awesome and have plenty of articulation room in those wheel wells.

I have this lift on my, new to me, 2010 rubi 2 door, but I have 35” tires and it handles like crap, and a lot of rubbing on the fenders when flexed out. I would not recommend 35’s. In the very near future I will be swapping out the tires for a set of 33’s.

Wi hate how long the rear is compared to the front

Oooo, this the video I want to see. We just got a "New to Us" 2019 Wrangler and now I want to go up 2.5". But I keep hearing go 35's ... but when I see pics, the 35's look tooooo big. Like when things get flexy, they are going to rub all to hell (especially when we add a quick disconnect). But of course, we don't want it to look stupid either (tires look too small)... GOTTA have some cool factor. So I been trying to find what that 2.5" lift will look, AND perform with a set of 33's instead. I feel this combo will work best when actually off roading and give tons of wiggle room when she starts to flex. Perfect video, thank you

@extremeterrain

Жыл бұрын

33s on a 2.5" lift would be perfect for your JL! You'll be able to get more flex on the trails, get better fuel economy compared to 35s, retain better road driving manors compared to 35s, and they're cheaper than 35s too! Thanks for watching! -Zach

Since we did this build awhile ago, I'm not 100% sure what tire pressure we set those MTs to. In order to get a smoother ride out of larger mud terrains, you generally will have the tire pressure be a little bit lower than normal. On 33s, I'd recommend starting your PSI out around 32 and going from there. Hope this helps! -Zach

Best of luck! -Zach www.intercotire.com/using_chalk_method_determining_psi

Looks good. For nearly the same look in that tire size I would run a 285/70/17. It is so close I doubt you could tell the difference and far more options with a lower price.Even going up to a 285/75/17 is cheaper and had about the same amount of options.

It's definitely another option, yes! Especially if you prefer something with the same height as a 33x12.5R17 with a little less width. That would be the only giveaway in tire size, a 285 regardless of 70 or 75 will look a tad skinnier than a standard 12.5" wide. -Zach

Back in 2010 she was driving on the QEW highway near Toronto Canada, the back tire of a pick-up truck came off and entered the oncoming traffic and killed my friends Daughter Megan instantally. The reason for the tire coming off was eventually traced back to the installation of a wheel spacer on the pick-up truck. Wheel spacers should be outlawed.
