2" Lift Options for WK

jmags · 09-12-2011, 01:22 PM

I am currently looking to put a 2" lift kit on my 06 WK. It is currently stock suspension. I do not want to do a body lift, but i do not want to spend the money for a suspension lift either. I am looking in the $400 range including instillation. I am wondering if there are options in this price range. Any suggestions, comments, or pictures are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Well with that kind of coin you are limited to a spacer kit including install. A spring/strut kit will run you $750 plus install. So if you don't want a spacer kit, then time to start saving or put that $400 towards beefier skids.

The wheel and tire sticky at the top has a lot of pictures of the different lifts (with wheels and tires obviously)

there are several choices for 2" space lifts. with installation (including a good alignment) you may still be a bit short with only $400, though it's possible

Im willing to go a little over 400 i just dont want to spend too much. and what are the advantages of spacers and the disadvantages? Will the 2" spacers even be noticeable? thanks for the feedback guys.

I have the 2" Daystar spacer lift. It let me get 32" BFG MT's underneath with only a little modification.

I didn't notice any change in the ride at all (that was really important since it's my DD).

Here is a grid with the look of the lift. (the daystar is actually 1.5" in the back and 2" in the front)

I have the Rough Country,although it technically is a 2.25" lift. I love it. Looks great,I think and no change in ride at all which was very important. I'm running 245/75/17 on stock wheel and 1.25 wheel spacers all around.

^^ agreed rough country is the way to go for a leveling kit. Cheaper and excellent quality, i love mine!

Just had my Rough Country BB lift installed this weekend. Seems to be great so far and can't beat the price!!

I have had my Rough County for a couple months now and love it. Kit itself was only $150, so if you install it yourself its a very cheap lift. Install will probably be around $300 unless you know someone. Im currently looking for some 245/75/17 tires which will make it the perfect height for me!

sk8rcj · 09-12-2011, 09:45 PM

Agreed with the rough country lift. I love mine. Ill upload pics soon.

Haha, my jeep is actually blue. Hard to tell from the pic though. Your jeep is sharp!!

Nice jeeps yall! Im jealous for sure. If i go through with lifting mine i sadly will need to save up some more money for bigger tires. Im running 245's right now. Any loss of mpg with the lifts?
