    My brother picked up a ‘18 Sahara 4 door wrangler. Wants a 1.5-2” lift. I don’t know much about these and he’s not a car guy. Money isn’t really an issue. Wants something that’ll drive nice. He will only wheel it maybe 3-4x’s a year and it’ll be weenie shit.

    I traded my 2012 unlimited sport for my crewmax. I ran the rough country 2.5" series II lift, with dual steering stabilizers. I ran 37s on stock wheels. Rode great. Miss it, but I needed bigger.

    He says 2.5” is too much lol. He doesn’t want to do the mopar kit cause he says most report it actually lifts 3”

    There aren’t a whole lot of really small actual lift kits. He would probably be happy with a leveling kit raising the front.
    Or just throw big tires on it, and that will lift it higher. I run 35s with no lift, and have gone as big as 38s with no lift (but I don’t recommend the latter).

    I guess finding out what size tires etc would be some good info.

    Flat fenders work well! Hell, I do 40’s on 3.5” lift.

    I ran AEV on 2 jeeps. They are a little pricey but quality lifts.

    37’s on 4.5” lift and could have gone bigger.

    I really loved my 36s on a 3” lift.
    But obviously was a 2dr EA527B41-7714-4E9D-9547-88E9BF092D3C.jpg

    Tell him to squeeze some 35’s on the stock suspension and re-gear it. Save the money from the lift for gears.
