I’ve got a 2” lift and 33” tires I’m planning on getting a 3.5” lift and 35” tires and I got the 5.7L hemi with the overland trim and I can wait to get this installed

[@jondoe4667]

My 05 limited has a 2" lift and those same Rubicon wheels. It's surprising how tall these things sit with a couple inch lift. I have 33s on mine and I don't think I could go any bigger without rubbing. 👍🇺🇲

[@CottoDIY]

Yea I wouldn’t go any larger than 33” anymore, also if I didn’t this job again, I wouldn’t do any more than a 2” lift. The steering and handling suffers with the higher lift, and it doubles the height so a 2” is really a 4” lift.

[@THATS.REDLINE]

I just bought a 08 HEMI 4x4! Do you still have this Jeep? If so make a new video to see the mods done on it. I can’t wait to start working on it

[@moddkilla]

Looks like a completely different truck, I wanna buy one and do the same thing.

[@dartravensshelley6990]

older video i know but i see these lifts all over mines a 3-5 miles a few times a week and trail rig and looking at a lift like this for some 33 ats stock rimes did you have to use spacers or change offset to fit yours ?

[@FluffyHawk13]

Looks great 😀👍, no problems with the control arms or driveshafts? I'm guessing those were spacers put on top of shocks...

[@CottoDIY]

Thanks! No problems with the driveshaft, the handling does change, little bouncier. The control arms I had were already bad and I should have changed them but couldn’t find the control arms for the lift. You should at least get new control arms when you do the lift, and I would recommend 2” in front and 3” in the rear because the front sits a little higher than the back.

[@zaccorpseman7366]

My 2010 silver had the same forward rake like this one here before the lift. While so many others I see on the road the front and rear are balanced out. Very bizzard

[@animeprincess3938]

Anyone know what size mud tires I can fit on 18 inch rim without rubbing? I appreciate it

[@bobbylong5349]

I'm interested in what lift kit you did struts and springs as well those Wheels look really really nice as well. I have a 2008 which I want to put a 3-inch lift on let me know ASAP please thank you

[@jadanicole8750]

Hey man this looks amazing where can i get the tires ? Any links

[@CottoDIY]

I bought the tires off marketplace!

[@jasonalangraves]

Very nice. Could you tell me what the tire size is?

[@CottoDIY]

They are 35” mud terrain tires and the wheels were 18” I believe. I don’t have the specific tire size because I traded out these wheels, sorry.

[@casualtrips9571]

Does it rub at full turn? Did you do the pinch weld mod?

[@CottoDIY]

With 35” tires yes. With 33”, not so much. I took a 5lb sledgehammer to the pinch we’d and hammered it flush.

[@jorgeR101795]

Can you post the links for everything needed for the lift kit?

[@CC6_Fanclub_President]

How do you like this set up after a year?

[@CottoDIY]

It looked great, ride quality decreased. I traded for a wrangler but would definitely go with the 2” instead of the 3” lift.

[@peperodriguez6587]

Is this a 2wd? Cuz i don’t know what lift I should slap on to mine

[@CottoDIY]

This is a 2wd. Don’t go taller than 2.5 inches. Headaches.

[@kohenburris9371]

hey could you please tell me where you bought those tires from

[@CottoDIY]

I actually bought the wheels and tires off someone from marketplace, but the brand tires were Kanati Mud Hog M/T.

[@bobbylong5349]

And the wheels come off a Rubicon Jeep

[@phillipsmith75]

What size spacer you put in the rear

[@CottoDIY]

I believe I put in 2” spacers.

[@Me-ob5qc]

It only took 3 inches of lift to fit 35inch tires!?

[@CottoDIY]

The way someone put it is for every inch of lifting puck, it doubles the ride height. So the 3” lift is like 6”s. It can be dangerous if you don’t replace upper and lower control arms and if the strut spindle is weak, that could snap off.

[@liltaylor88]

What tire size are you running

[@CottoDIY]

I the video I was running 35” tires. I changed them to 33” for more clearance.

[@mitterknight2330]

2” spacers for the wheels or 1 3/4”?

[@CottoDIY]

I used 2” spacers. Very little rubbing with 33” tires. 35” rub more.

[@mitterknight2330]

@@CottoDIY we’re you running 35x12.50 or a 315/70? I have the 315/70’s goin on a 05 limited with a 3” lift. 1 3/4” spacers on the way. Hoping for the best

[@CottoDIY]

@@mitterknight2330 I wish I still had those wheel setups to check but unfortunately I do not. Sorry.

[@mitterknight2330]

Thanks

[@jaimeleiva4865]

@@mitterknight2330 did they rub?

[@pocketsdeep420]

Is that just a puck lift 3" or what

[@CottoDIY]

Yes. 3” lift off eBay. It totals around 6” though. I would recommend a 2 1/2 left though. Less stress on the ride.

[@andrewballinger]

after almost a year no problems?

[@CottoDIY]

No problems. The only thing I should have done was install new upper control arms. Otherwise, everything drove fine since.

[@andrewballinger]

@@CottoDIY no contact with spindle and strut?

[@CottoDIY]

@@andrewballinger no, not sure if you full send in off roading conditions though. This Jeep was a road queen. No off roading for this 4x2 rig.

[@rjmeeks7215]

Mine was riding fine until the upper control arm ball joint snapped n after replacing everything my strut is having contact with spindle haven't been driving it I'm waiting on my jba upper control arms to come in

[@CottoDIY]

@@rjmeeks7215 definitely need to replace the used parts with new, and also tubular upper control arms will help with the degree of angle.
