Lift question
- Thread starter Dan Westphal

I really do love your Rubi CodaMan. Every time I see it on here I like it more! We're sitting about the same. I'm probably going to BL just for 33's next year. Nice work!
That looks great. I wouldn't change a thing. The tire and lift combination makes it look perfect in my opinion.
OP
Are you happy with it? My concern is a friend of mine is doing the lift with me. Buying a lift kit will most likely come with everything we need. If we go this direction what all will I need to get?

I am 100% happy with it the way it is. My lift includes (and nothing else):
1) New 2" springs, I used Pro Comp springs and I can provide part numbers if you want them.
2) +2" Rancho 5000X shocks, again, part numbers if you want them.
3) .75" spacers for the front springs to level it out, again, part numbers...
4) 1" bump stop extensions .. bottom up front and top in the rear, again...

2) Pro Comp 2" Springs (Rear) — EXP55298
3) Rancho RS5000X Shocks (2 Front) — RS55239
4) Rancho RS5000X Shocks (2 Rear) — RS55241

I agree with the masses, 2.5" lift FTW. Add 1" coil spacers and a little more bumpstomp if you want to graduate to 33's.
Problem with that is the jounce bumpers will hit the coil spring when you compress the suspension.
The general rule is bottom in front and top in the rear. If you mount them to the top in front you have more of a chance of them binding when the spring compresses

Holy Batman! Another resurrected thread. I don’t want to steal @CodaMan thunder, but yeah, it will work for any 1997 to 2006 TJ

That is all I ran on both Jeeps. The only additional part you may want is a rear track bar relocation bracket ($20) if you think the rear axle is shifted too much for your liking. Personally, It was fine with me.
