Ideal setup for 33 inch tires?

[D M]

My Ideal setup for 33s are going to be a few things I think should work. Im just worried if it is enough lift. Currently I have 33s(dont know what brand) and a garbage 3 inch skyjacker lift with just shocks/springs on the car.
Heres what im gonna change it to:
2 Inch OME heavy duty springs 2933 and 2942(these are the heavy duty part #'s correct?)
Rancho RS5000X's for 2-3 inches of lift
Savvy 1.25 Body Lift
JKS Rear adjustable track bar
Jks Rear Trackbar Relocation brackets
Metalcloak Rear Upper Double Adjustable Control Arms

I just want to make sure this will work with 33s, not just being able to fit them im talking about comfortable travel without rubbing. I just feel like the current setup I have isnt very good. Please let me know what you think

Measure your existing springs as the Jeep sits in the garage.

Ideally you want about 4" of total lift, which means at least 2.5" of spring lift to go with the body lift. That is beyond a typical OME lift.

FWiW, this is getting close to SYE territory. All 8 arms are best for repositioning the axles.

Then you really need all eight arms and an sye.

Ran OME 2” for years with 33” (285/75/r16) on Rubicon wheels. A little tire rub on PS at full left turn lock. Never really wheeled but I’m certain it would not be adequate.

Use a spacer on top of the OME springs to get you close to 3" up front. You may want the rear around 2.5" so you don't have as much rake. That would work.

You could consider JKS 3" springs.

Rancho springs run long. Figure out your total spring lift and then check the Rancho website for which shock (0-2 or 2-4 inch) to get. I have OME springs and went with the 0-2 for better uptravel.

This is my setup. I don't go off road, so it is fine for me, but if I was going off road a lot, I wouldn't have this setup.

I’m in the process of switching to 33s from 31s. I’m currently on 2” bds springs. I have 3” front springs and savvy 1.25” BL on the way. I run longer bump stops to ensure I don’t rub. We’ll find out how it goes off road.

Do you plan to offroad with it? Why are you going with a body lift and not just a larger suspension lift?

I think he mentioned a future tummy tuck

I think he mentioned a future tummy tuck

I'm reasonably sure that can be done without a body lift, can't it?

Depends on how much tuck.

I think you've got a good list going. Probably want north of 2.5" of spring lift combined with that body lift. I would also do a SYE at this point with a CV rear drive shaft if you plan on waiting a while before you do a TT.

No one mentioned a HighLine yet. That would be my first mod.

Do those require cutting the body sheet metal?

The hood gets chopped about 3" and the new higher fenders go in. Then everything attached to the inner fenders gets moved around. It's as easy as it sounds.

How do the springs ride, do they sag at all with a hard top and full doors, what about with soft top and half doors?

They ride as well as the shocks allow.

..., do they sag at all with a hard top and full doors, what about with soft top and half doors?

Any and all springs will compress a bit with added weight.
