Good Afternoon all!

I am just trying to get a little more clearance as we are out in the boonies and some of the depressions in our dirt roads are big enough to swallow a Libby.

Just looking for a 2"-3" lift/leveling kit. Nothing crazy. I have a truck for that...

Most of what I find has a diesel disclaimer attached.

What have you all tried and what do you like?

Thanks!

Weeks101 sells a bunch of stuff at a good price. https://shop.sasquatchparts.com. I got from him an arb bumper plus lights and the lift kit, ome with diesel Springs. I recommend it unless you are willing to replace axles, upper arms, drop the transmission by few inches, etc.

I am running and ome coil over with hd springs(948), jba top plate spacer, and clevis spacer up front. In the back I have jba 2.5" lift springs, 1 extra ISO, and ome shocks. This puts the Jeep pretty much dead level with an arb bumper on the front. Ride is much better than stock and aside from my jba upper arms making contact with the uca pockets on the downstroke, I have had no issues.

Yes - OME suspension, jba top plate spacer, 1 or 2 extra ISOs on the back; you might want to consider the jba link on the back between the boomerang and the diff - stops the bushes and ball joint wearing prematurely.

You added some resistors to the led turning lights, didn't you? I find it silly that a bumper worth well over 1000 bucks comes with led turning lights without canbus cimpatible resistors. After installing everything the turning signal relay was blinking like one of the bulbs was out...

Btw, what tire size you have? 245x75x16?
