HOW MUCH LIFT FOR ME?
Hello. I have a 2006 Wrangler X that I would like to lift. I am
totally clueless and I don't know whether or not I need a body lift,
suspension lift, or both. I do know I do not want more than 2 or 3
inches for a lift. Here is what I am looking to achieve:
I would like to put 31 inch tires (maybe 32's) on the jeep without
having to re-calibrate the speedometer. I also do not want to change
the T-case fixings or the steering components. And I do not want to
have to worry about tire rub. I am not sure if I would need new
shocks either to accommodate the lift.
I would like to also put wider tires on my ride to give her that
"beefy stance", but I am not sure how wide I can go without causing
any damage or problems (275/285 maybe) with tires rubbing on sharp
turns. Basically, what I want to do is get the lift and slap new
tires on my ride and just drive with no other modifications. Any
suggestions on how much lift, what size tires (I am thinking maybe 275
or 285/75/15), and what brand of lift I would need would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: HOW MUCH LIFT FOR ME?
You don't need a lift to fit 31x10.5 tires.
You can go with a simple and cheap coil spacer lift to get another 1.5"
or so easily which makes the stance look a little nicer. You would need
longer shocks for this or any lift.
Steering has a simple adjustment to prevent the tires from rubbing on
full turn.

Re: HOW MUCH LIFT FOR ME?
You can get coil spring spacers, you'll spend about $100. You will not need
new shocks for less than 2" of lift.

Thanks for the advice, but can you give any suggestions on how wide of
a tire I can get without worrying about tire issues? My rims are 15
inch rims. Also, the coil spacers are those spacers (usually 1 inch)
that fit underneath the coil springs correct?
