Jeep experts, i need some help

[leetheman81]

Howdy ODT, need some advice on a new ride i picked up. Got a 2016(JK) jeep wrangler black bear edition that's bone stock minus an ARB bumper. Want to do a little lift to fit 35" tires or possibly 305's(33.9" roughly). Torn on what type of lift i should go with. Naturally i want to stick with the smooth stock ride but don't want to mess up the geometry too much. Should i simply add spacers to the coils, new coil lift or ________? Not opposed to adding new control arms but dont want control arm brackets to add a weak point to the system. It is 7 years old and has 105k miles so would i need to replace the ball joints while at it. Basically im pretty clueless but want to keep this thing running smooth for the next 10+ years. I do plan on adding a winch to the ARB bumper since its made for one. I feel like there are some Jeep guys here to help lead me in the right direction. All input/advice is appreciated. Feel free to PM or post opinions here in the thread.
Thanks ODT!!

Stay away from spacers if you want a smooth ride. With the ARB bumper, you’ll have to upgrade your springs even more so if you add a winch.

Look at Quadra tech and do a proper lift If you are going to lift it. Many different kits. I drive a 18 JK Sahara 2dr. No plans to lift. I do have some slightly oversized tires. But I’m a old guy and don’t care to go mudding just to have to fix stuff. Been there. Have fun and enjoy.

Rough Country has some kits that come with everything you need and I found the instructions were excellent.

I have a 91 that’s lifted and a 2910 that’s not I’m in the old guy group now. I don’t think I will do anything other than tires to the 2010. I would find a shop that specializes in lifting Jeeps and tell them what you want because if you don’t know what you’re doing it can cause a lot of problems

I run a 2" JKS suspension lift with a 1" body lift on my TJ. Didn't have to change a thing with the geometry. JKS has some of the most complete kits available. Been very happy with them!
