2 Inch Lift Kit with 33" Tires on a Jeep Wrangler JK - Is it any good?

[@Xman0824]

Hey good video bro, This the EXACT video i asked for and your came up. Nice job and nice Jeep. I just got mine 2016 black on black. Named it The TUMBLER.

[@BenCad]

Always love a batman reference! And thanks! Hope it helped you out! Cheers!

[@Xman0824]

@BenCad hey thanks man. I made my jeep a Dark Knight edition. You'll have to check it out sometime.

[@task]

awesome videos. great to find a fellow aussie making content on wranglers! breath of fresh air :P

[@BenCad]

Ha thanks for leaving a comment! Yeah need more Aussie content cos our cars are often a little different!

[@grossmeister1181]

Lovely car, looks very clean, would love one like this!

[@JimmyDevere]

Thanks for the videos. Can you upload some more of wheeling this Jeep? I enjoy the group runs where we can see how this lift/tires compares with other builds. Cheers!

[@BenCad]

Thanks for feedback, and will when I can haven't been out in a while, might have a trip in a few weeks lined up though :)

Hi Ben late to the party but just got a 2023 wrangler overland and looking at also getting wheels and a lift kit.... Did you need to upgrade the tyre carrier to accommodate the bigger tyre? Not many videos here in Australia bout jeep info. Great video hope you do more!

[@BenCad]

Hey mate, nah I’ve just got the stock carrier, this is my second Jk and I did the same on my old one too. So I’ve had no issues with the stock carrier with a combined like 7 years of use. It seems reasonably safe at this tyre size, however if I went up another size or two. I think it would be a important consideration. If you were gunna be on the trails every weekend too it may be more important, I know a few guys who have run similar tyre sizes and eventually all the extra flex does eventually take it’s toll - off-roading speeds that up of course. But yeah as mine does daily duties with some occasional adventures when I have time. I don’t think I’ll have any problems for a long time yet. And if I do… Excuse for upgrades! Hope that helps!

[@bigrasteel]

@@BenCad thanks for the reply this helps my decision! 👍🏼

[@bartosztroczynski9566]

Hi Ben. Great video ! Could you tell me what is the measurement between top of the tire and lower side of the wheel arch flare at the front and rear of your vehicle? Many Thanks :)

[@gofasters1]

Great Info, Thx

[@BenCad]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment 😀

[@TheDon8771]

New sub… good video. I have the aev 2.5 with 33s , daily driven , weekend warrior.

[@BenCad]

Hey thanks mate, and sounds like you got a good rig too!

[@CapnPink28]

I just bought a 07 Unlimited X….thinkin about going with this exact setup. Took it stock on a path here at home, definitely need a lift and tires or some sort….how does it ride on the road??

[@TheDon8771]

@@CapnPink28 you’ll love it when you feel as confident as you will with aev around turns and highway speeds. And at low speeds and lower tire pressure it’s perfect for the trails.

[@jdrosy4414]

This jeep is very nice friend 👍👌 job well done & very informative but the blue one...ooh mama, I'm in luv 😍 💕 😊

[@BenCad]

Thanks JD, I did love my old blue JK, especially the colour!

[@butch93105]

You could use another inch in front unless you like the raked look. Personally I like it level.

[@Heller1970]

Hi Ben great rig,I was wondering if you had the exhaust spacer fitted? Also what were the labor costs approximately?Still in lockdown unfortunately can’t wait to get out there hit some trails!

[@BenCad]

Hey mate, yes lockdowns suck! Still in lockdown also! You’ll find I’ve got a link to the exact kit in the video description might help answer your questions because it has a parts list but yes on exhaust spacer. Labor was approx $1k. Hope that helps! Cheers

[@96applemac]

Amazing vid! Subscribed mate. Keep the Jeep vids coming!

[@BenCad]

Hey thanks Matt!

[@MODELMAN-zq7po]

Do you still have stock gears ?

[@BenCad]

Yes I do and have no issues, hope that helps!

[@mattsanderson6553]

Ben, what size wheels are you using in this video?

[@chaneyjl2609]

Hey old friend do you have any spaces on your wheels

[@BenCad]

Hey Chaney, that’s a negative, no spacers!

[@ryanmunoz9400]

What type of tires are those ?

[@BenCad]

Hi Ryan, they’re BF Goodrich K02 tires, if you check out the video written description they’re a bunch of extra info in there! Cheers

[@explore_off_road]

Hmmmm, the 33's look good on there. I'm in Canada and all I hear is the 33's on a 2" lift will look weird, so I'm paroozing the net trying to see what it looks like. Internet all says do 35's .. but does the internet comments really know!? I don't trust it ... cuz I actually wheel. But 35's look tooooo big, and if the trail gets flexible, those things are gonna stuff right up in there and rub the shit out of it. So good video, nice to see. Think I may go 33 or 34 to give us some wiggle room. This one is my wives (we are building it up) so we have two vehicles when we go out, and I can be a little more stupid ... and she will take great pleasure in rescuing me.

[@BenCad]

35's would definetely look great, but seems like that brings all the hassles and extra costs you avoid with 33's :)

[@ibretus]

what diff ratio did you run with 33s?

[@BenCad]

just the standard 3.21 here Brett.

[@jazzied-]

hello, what earrings are those? very nice the jeep

[@grossmeister1181]

BTW, what rims are these?

[@BenCad]

hey mate, I've got all the relevant info in the written description of the video, but the wheel are Pro Comp Series 34 Rockwell Wheels - 17x8.5", 0 Offset. Hope that helps!

[@Heller1970]

Hey Ben, you’ve had the tire and lift for a little while now, just wondering how there holding up.Have you had any part failures or had to return to the installer for any reason?

[@BenCad]

Hey there! Well so far the lift kit has been 100% fine for daily driver duties. But down here in Australia we’re still in covid lockdown so still haven’t been able to take it anywhere fun! :( hope that helps somewhat!

[@erickdiaz6152]

Does the lift kit affect MPGs?

[@BenCad]

Hey Erick, it would but nothing majorly noticeable - it’s still pretty bad hahaha

[@adolfovzqz7365]

What is the offset ?

[@BenCad]

Offset is 0 the wheel details in the written description, Cheers!

[@adolfovzqz7365]

👌🏻👍🏻😬

[@willardrobinson6234]

How did it drive with no lift kit?

[@BenCad]

Pretty much like factory Willard, honestly not much difference in my opinion!

[@willardrobinson6234]

@@BenCad ok cool thanks!

[@bw2191]

Get 35s.😉

[@BenCad]

The dream. Maybe one day when it does less daily duties!

[@2asianguys667]

Need wider tires. Too skinny
