- 1.5 inches or less (Leveling Kit/Small Lift)
- This type of lift is mainly to level out your Jeep and get rid of the factory rake (the front sitting lower than the back). It gives you a little bit of extra clearance and is great for daily driving with some light off-roading.
- Tire size: You can usually fit around 31-32 inch tires.
- 2 to 2.5 inches (Mild Lift)
- This lift adds noticeable height and lets you run bigger tires, making your Jeep more capable for tougher trails while still being comfortable on the road.
- Tire size: Around 33 inches is typical for this lift.
- 3 to 4 inches (Moderate Lift)
- Now you’re getting into serious off-roading territory. This lift gives you enough clearance for bigger obstacles and allows for larger tires. You’ll probably need to upgrade a few suspension components to keep everything handling smoothly.
- Tire size: 35-inch tires are pretty common here.
- 5 inches or more (Extreme Lift)
- This is for hardcore off-roaders who need to tackle serious rock crawling, mudding, or desert running. Lifts of this size usually require major upgrades to the suspension, driveshafts, brakes, and other systems to keep the Jeep safe and stable.
- Tire size: You can go for 37 inches or even larger, depending on how extreme you want to get.

Jeep Lift Kits: A Practical Guide to Different Height Options
1 reading
Lift height and tire size depends on the Jeep model. In the JK/JL/JL lines 31-33" tires are stock sizes which require no lift but many go to this size lift for looks. The JL and JT Rubicon and Mojave can run 35's on the stock suspension just fine.
2-2.5" of lift is good for 35's. This is the typical lift height most JK/JL/JT owners go with as it's a good mix of looks, functionality and price.
3-4" of lift is for 37's. I run 3.25" of lift on a JK with 37's. It's a good combination and I can still get into my Jeep (I won't lie, it can be a struggle sometimes but I have short legs).
5" or more is extreme as you pointed out. 40"+ are what you will see for tire size.
I know the OP is trying to sell Chinese knock off power steps. They look like Amp Steps which are good for a mall crawler but useless off road. If you want rock crawler steps, get the Rockslide Engineering steps. These are designed for off road and have add on armor to protect them further.
I will say that they do show an electric hard roll up tonneau cover for the Gladiator that I would be really interested in if I can find someone who sells it and it's reasonably priced. Maybe they would offer one to me for review and beta testing.

This.
Jeep has become such a generic name now it can apply to everything from a CJ2A to a Trailhawk.
Or, they can pay and register as a business like they are supposed to, and only spam their own forum link
Thank you for this! Helpful!
Mine is a 2006 LJ that I bought new and have done virtually no modifications. Now the suspension is shot. I'm handy with tools but I have little experience beyond changing tires and brake pads. I'm prepping to overhaul the suspension and your post leads me to want a 2 inch lift.
When I shop lift kits online I get confused with the variety. A 2" lift can have 20 parts or 200 parts, so I don't understand how to know what I want. I drive on pavement almost exclusively and I'll like to be confident at 70mph. My desire for a lift is mostly cosmetic - except to pop an occasional curb and gulley. I do have a property in the country - dirt/gravel, ruts, and such.
Can you help me understand better how to shop lift kits?

Post #5 will explain why you probably won't get a reply.
My suggestion is to move to the LJ forum and ask the members directly for their input.
