Get your points :) but do love the 35's... so will end up with the rite things but one step at a time... I goto get the clearnace rite first before spending on bumpers and all... Now I read at Quadratec that for a 2007 wrangler I would need 2.5" lift for a 35... I need to investigate before a 2.5" lift wether that 2.5 clearnace is measured from the fenders. If so, removing the fenders gives me a 2.something clearnace. A spacer will give 3/4 more clearance. If that is enough clearance, it will save me teh money but to be frank it is not the money that I wanna go that way if it is possible... I wouldnt want to touch teh suspensions if i dont have to...

Once i get teh clearance solved, I will purchase a stabalizer bar to get better stability after the lift and tires...

Then I would wanna get the power up again... I know what the gears feel like as i have changed em on a mustang in teh past so will ge more torque there...

As of now, i do enjoy the looks but limited o take it on harsh terrains but soon will be able to...

I do appreciate all your help and have taken teh advices very seriously... Just need to look at different things slowly.. so far, only tires and mags I spent on so no money loss to what i wanna achieve anyways...

my mags ar 10" in width so i wouldnt face the tire pop up issue...

Cheers all!

Quadratic advice for 2.5" thinking that u already or gonna change the fender flares to their specs, as Iguana said if u insist on the 35" u need to go on with the rest of the mods quickly other wise this will affect your Warranty issues & gradually will harm the car drive terain .. what ever u decide it your call man enjoy the ride, drive safely last don't forget the fire Extinguisher

lol bulldozer... i think i mite need 2 fire instinguishers...

Whats your take on the following:

http://www.quadratec.com/products/16190_0000.htm

That will giv 2.5" plus a 4.88 gear ratio plus a steering stabilizer...

Would this give me an initial enjoyment ride that will take me to to the desert terrains

2 extinguisher will be better even, U need to look at the fender flares again with our experience with TJs it s gonna rub against the tyres with 2.5" lift & 35" tyres / 10" Rims end up by changing the flares, safe & enjoyable ride

My advice, these mods should no be done in stages .. You have a new car which you should respect ... either do it in one go or don't do it at all

Dear Husam,

This is a budget boost lift kit based on coil spacers which is a big no no. Lifting should be done by replacing the coils with proper height stiff coils for proper handling and articulation.

Thanks guys for the tips agian and not givin up on a Jeep brother :)

I know the stages of making decisions is frustrating but when I get it right all will go well and the enjoyment will multiply...

The only thing that stops me for spending the big bucks for the full lift is that I have a feel this would be in cases where I would be doing heavy 4 wheelin on harsh terains...

I know of a person that goes to teh deserts with the jeep that he has (hes got a 33" tires) not on a 2003 Jeep and the space between the tires and the fender is 4 knucles away... If I put the flare I will have like 8 knuckles away... Whats your take on this peeps?

I do not recommend the skyjacker, i bought their 2.5" lift, so far the back side is lower than the front of the car and its getting worse, i can feel the difference even when sitting in the car. The coil springs are soft, search it in the internet, they call it "sky crapper" :mrgreen:

Go with the teraflex lift and the rancho shocks as most of the members are using this combination and its working fine so far.
