I was wondering what every one thought would be the best lift for 32 inch tires.

I'm going to try a RE 3.5" at first, but I doubt that will allow for nearly enough flex, so I'm planning on throwing spacers on top of that. I'd say just get the Rubicon Express 4.5". I doubt you'd even have to trim.

I have 32 11.5's and 3"coils with 1.75" spacers. Still rub when full articulation and turning. My tire are pretty beat up even with a hammer to the inner fender well ans trimming. However not everyone is using thier suspension to the limit either. Just depends on how hard you wheel.

OK let me clarify. I want a full all inclusive lift, that will deliver a smooth ride without vibrations or rubbing of the new 32 inch tires. I have been looking at the R.E. 4.5 but didn't know if if I could go smaller, for a better ride. Or if any one had a Tera flex lift and thought that it rides better than the R.E.

im going to do 32's in the future, and i am going to do the 3.5" re lift and 2 inch spacers on top of that.

Good luck with the smooth ride without vibrations ... anything above stock is going to ride like a lifted Jeep and you either love it or hate it.

I just installed Kevin's Ultimate 4.5" kit (8 adj RE arms) love the kit. BUT it rides like a lifted Jeep ... bumpy and tends to wander.

You can fit 32's on stock suspension with liberal use of trimming and proper backspacing.

Good luck!

I have RE4.5 with 32's and still rub when flexing off-road. My front tires rub the bottom of the front bumper and the control arms and the rear rubs the exhaust and wheel well on the pass. side. No trimming at all - YET!
Stock canyon wheels and adj. LCA in the rear, adj. trackbars front and rear. No swaybar in the rear. And it rides like a lifted Jeep and wonders a bit on the road, but does great off-road.

Well, if you trim the bumper and run a wheel with a different offset, you'll cure the rubbing up front pretty easily.

I'm running a 15x8" wheel with 4.5" BS, and with the 31's I'm running I have to say it PERFECT. I haven't had it offroad yet, but I can turn lock to lock with no rubbing on the LCA's, and after trimming a small 2" x 3" piece off the corner of the front bumper, I don't rub on that,either. Granted 32's are a bit wider, but it loks like I still have ample clearance for that size without rubbing.

You could also adjust your steering stops to stop the LCA rubbing.

Are we talking about street and trails or are we talking hard core offroading, using all of the travel?

WE are talking street and trails. Thats why Im not going long arm. I may eventually but not now.

I am running 32's on 3.5" of lift. I rub at full stuff, I still have to hammer out the pinch seem and I have pulled the lip down on my fender. Nothing to serious, it can be done with out to much worry on damaging your tires.
