Hey guy iw was wondering about addin some 35's to the heep. I curently am running a 2"bb & 2"bl. I still want to fit in the door, so what i am wondering is should i go with a 3" lift or a 4" with the 2"bl. i know that im im going to stay short arm for now, and upgrade when i can. So does any one else run this setup?? and fit under a 7' door. Thanks :)

2 years ago, I had 4 inch suspention lift with a 2 inch spacer lift on top and I was running 38 inch boggers. I had no issues fitting in the under ground parking which had 6.5 - 7 foot door. Or keep the hard top on, rather than the soft top (ie. Bestop) is at least 3 inches taller. Also try airing down a bit, to make the jeep fit. :)

You need about 4.5-6" of lift to fit 35s depending on the width of the tire

Just go with what you have and extend your bumpstops if you have to.
The more BL you have, the less suspension you need to run more tire.
4" suspension, and 1" BL is plenty for 35's.
2-3 suspension, and 2" BL actually hasmore tire room then the above common 35 setup. Plenty of people run 37's with 3" teraflex springs and a 2"BL.
Only thing I'd recommend is going to a true spring lift. Either ome 2's, or teraflex 3's, and getting some longer shocks. If you dont have money for springs, at least do some shocks if you havnt already.
That setup will allow for a lot more wheel travel and stability.
Lookup Rob @ hoyboyz for good prices and tech advice on springs and shocks.

Oh ya. And Im on true 35's (35.5 actual height) 4" suspension, and a 1.25BL and have no troubles in a 6 foot 9 garage, even with a soft top. So ya, no worries.

Hey Thanks Guys :D ... I guess i'll be looking into the teraflex 3" starter lift without the arms. Now Sorry one more. Would you say that i should use new arms with the kit, like some JKS, or can i get away with the stockers for now? i do have new shocks that i bought they are some 3" skyjackers that are in place. Tanks again every one for your fast replies.
