Need your opinion on this option

[H_Nunez]

Hi Forum, need your opinion on an option I`m considering. I have an 06 auto Rubicon with H&R coils and Rancho R5000x shocks with stock 245/75 R16 tires. I also use .75 spacers for leveling. I really like how it rides. I`m ready to get new tires. I`m considering KOs. ( I currently have street tires courtesy of PO ). I measured my current setup (spring + leveling pucks) and it measures 13.5, which equates to a 1.5 lift. I would like to go 1 size up in tires (265/75 R16). I know my current setup would not be right, could a 1" BL solve this? I wouldn´t like to mess up with the current setup. Anything else I could need if I decide to go this route?

Thanks!

Add a 1" BL and you'll be golden for 265/75R16's

Which Rancho shocks are you using? If you have the ones for 2"+ of lift, a suspension lift would make more sense than a body lift. But if you have the ones for no lift, the body lift would make more sense

Here is mine. It measures 14.25" at the front springs and it has a 1/2" BL sitting on 265/75R16's

I have a very similar lift and am running 265/75r16 tires. The wheels are 16x8 w a 4.5" backspace. With the appropriate bumpstop extensions, I have no issues and personally think it looks great.

265s will work with what you have now depending on how aggressive you are on the suspension. I'd get your tires and then see IF you need to add any additional lift.

Thanks for your suggestion, I did that yesterday. The stance is great, I even think it rides better. I`m ready for the next 32" KOs sale in town

Here`s how it looks now:
