I have read everything I can find on mild lift kits for my JK Ruby Unlimited and I can't tell which one is best for me--need some help. Almost all my driving is on pavement with about 10-15% on dirt and off road. I have signed-up to do the Rubicon Trail in 2011 and have been advised to consider a 2-3" lift and 33-35" tires. I have been looking at the RE 2" spacer/shock lift, Old Man Emu 2" spring/shock lift and my Jeep dealer seems to prefer Trail Master's 3" spacer/shock lift. In such a basic kit is there really much difference? Supposedly they all employ mono-tube shocks which I'm told are better than stock.
Will 35"x12.5" tires require re-gearing to maintain road performance?
I think 33", LT285x70R-17, KM2 BF Goodrich mud-T's will fit my stock rims. Would this tire and a 2-3" lift kit do the job for me on the Rubicon Trail?
Appreciate any experienced advice on this subject--thanks.
