[QUOTE="Gcarlyle22, post: 465297, member: 26331"] 09 Rubicon 6 speed manual, as far as I can tell stock height so here is the real question. Are there really any advantages of putting bigger tires on? I do a little light off roading mostly mud, I love mud. Everyone keeps asking me when I am going to put 35's on. I don't think I would go 35 maybe a 33. But if I were to go 33's i have a few questions. I don''t really care about the gap between the body and bumpers as I have put steel on the front and rear and there is a gap anyway. I have the Rubi Rails on it and behind those the pinch seam is at the same distance as the rails, which looks to be about 1.5 in away from the tire 255/27R17. The Rubi Rails are coming off because 1. they are rusting and 2. I will be putting side step on it, so I would still be concerned with the pinch seam rubbing. See image. I do not have stock rims and I don't know their size other than being 17's. I took it to Discount tire, they said the rims will work but I need a 3" lift to keep a 33" from rubbing. Would that be a true statement? When I bought the Jeep there was a unopened boxed 2" body lift kit, Would that be advisable? I have done a lot of searching on lifting the body and have found 1 major problem with a body lift. I cannot find a lift kit for the motor and transmission. All I can find on that is a 1" lift for the motor only. Any help with that would be welcomed. I don't believe I have left out any vehicle info but if I have let me know. Thanks for any help!
