To Lift/Level or just Level?

[jimwalston]

I'm picking my Bronco 2 door up in the next week. I already have a 2" Lift/Level that received for as a gift and worried it may be too much lift for the 33"s that I'm having installed by Stephens.

I see a lot of 4 doors using the same lift but running 35"s. I know everyone has different taste but I welcome comments and opinions Thanks!

The Bronco has giant wheel wells, a 2” lift might make your 33s look a little “small”, they make 35s look small on a 3” lift!

Of course, this is all on a 4 door. Anything bigger than a 35 looks out of place on a 2 door IMO

The 285/75R17 you list in the title are closer to 34”, they measure at 33.9” tall. My 2 door Badlands is 1.5” lower in the front than the rear, I’ll be installing a 1” or 1.25” leveling kit for aesthetic reasons.

I think 2” is overkill since the 285/75R17 will fit the Black Diamond without a lift, but the Black Diamond sits .4” lower than my Badlands. Here is mine stock with 285/70R17 and mine with 285/75R17. No leveling kit in these pics.

Looking good...I meant 285/70r17. I tried to edit the size in the poll.

This is what I was thinking. I'm going to order the 1 inch level and sell the 2" Rough Country lift.

If you’re going with 33’s just do the 1” leveling kit. Works great. I have 285/70/17’s with the RC 1” kit and it looks great. No issues or rubbing.

Here is my 2” lift with 32” tires for reference. I don’t think it will make your tires look too small.

Thanks for the input and photos. I decided to buy the Zone 1" inch level so my new 2" RC lift/level is for sale. $100

I just had the 2 1/4in RPG Perch Collar lift/level kit installed on my non-sas OBX. Tires BFG 275/70/R18.

Just did the 1" Zone Offroad leveling kit today. Very happy with the stance. 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT's, on my Wildtrak.

Yes the 1 inch level is perfect for 33's
