I picked up an 05 wrangler the other day and was thinking about lifting it up and adding bigger tires. Maybes 3/4 inch lift and 33s but not decided for sure. Any recommendations on lift kit brands to use and/or stay away from? Is it smart to mix and match parts?
One guy I talked to recommend ruff country but a lot of what I read online says they’re not all that great. I’m looking at a budget of around $2000 give or take for parts/labor not including wheels and tires.
I had a local shop go through it today and changed oil in the rear end, brakes, as well as look for anything else that might need fixed. I plan on putting in new ball joints, tire rod ends, control arm bushings, and sway bar links before the lift. Also changing the brake calipers.
The jeep is right hand drive and will be a back up for the Prius (don’t tell anyone) as a mail car. With gas the way it is I plan on just driving this in the woods mostly and only a mail car if the other goes down for a day or two.
As always, any info is greatly appreciated and if there’s anything else I should watch out for please let me know.
There’s several dents and dings but I think everything is sound for the most part. Has 135,000 miles on the odometer.
