So with these spacers you have what else would I need to get rid of the rake?
OP
If there was an advertisement for the Forum.... That should be it.Just got chills
I ran 10.50 X 31" tires on mine both before and after I did a 2"lift & they are great
OP
This are 31.5's with x-amount of lift. Not a 2 incher for sure, but does it look like a tall loft?
Everyone's views are obviously very subjective. In my opinion, 31's and 32' are very proportional with Jeeps measurements, 2" or 4" lift will be a matter of preference without making things look like something is out of place.
Something smaller than 31's or bigger like 33's, is when disproportionality starts to stick out for me. That is when, for the sake of looks, some sort of rational tinkering will have to be done.
OP
just for clarification you are saying this is lifted less than 2 inch? What do you mean by x
More than 2, for sure.
X means i am clueless how much lift it has.
I didn't take a typical approach of what and how much i "want" to do, there were things that i "needed" to do, and this lift is a result of it.
OP
very interesting, im thinking 2 inch may be a good number for me to lok into, I really wish there was a pic someone had of a 2 inch lift on 31s...
Stock suspension, 31/10.5 r15 tires, 3.75" backspacing on wheels. No rubbing...but I never took it offroad before installing the lift in the picture below.
2.5" OME spring lift + .75" spacer in front to level out the rake. Same wheels and same size tires.
Dude... there are like a ton of threads and pics with this combination. It is a very popular setup and regularly recommended.

Here’s a pro tip for searching the forum. When you go to the search bar and type something in, click search then go to the “google search” side. It has better results and will pull up the links you’re looking for like @primetime4 showed.
Have you looked here:

I have seen this topic multiple times on here. There is either dedicated threads on it, or it is mentioned mentioned here and there.
Do some surfing of this forum, tons of info. Forum search engine is good, but typically too, so it never works out for me. But, google provides plenty of links.
2" lift on 31's.
Even a lift as small as 2" can induce drive line vibes. These TJ's are very sensitive to change. Some guys don't get vibes, some do. I did when I lifted it 2" and had to lower the t-case skid 3/4" to get rid of the vibes.
My suggestion, 1.5" coil spring spacers up front, 0.75" spacers for the rear to level it out, then some wheels with 3.75"- 4" back spacing to eliminate the scrubbing. This way you are not lifting it up and into the vibe danger zone, you are increasing some up travel, and giving it a better stance. Follow that up with some Rancho RS5000X shocks for 0-2" of lift and rock on brah!

Things do have the ability to hit and rub. You just aren't aware of it yet.

This is a screenshot from the Rough Country installation video of a 2 inch lift with 31 inch tires. It gets rid of the factory rake that the jeeps have while also getting some height. If this is too much lift for 31's then maybe a 1inch lift or even a leveling kit is better for your jeep.
Rough Country 2 Inch Lift <——- This is the link to that video so you can see what the install would be like if you care to watch.
This is one I built with 1" H&R springs and a 1" body lift. I was running stock Rubicon wheels and 245/75R16 tires. If you're worried about the rake, you can always add a 3/4" spacer up front.

Thanks Everyone got all the info I need, Got some thinking and will post when I get it done! thanks!
