I am looking to get 33s on my TJ but need to keep my lift as low as possible so my wife can get in and out easily.

I know the TeraFlex 3T will fit 33s. I am wondering if anyone has used the 2T with 33s on a TJ and what there experience was.

Thanks,

nagal

it will work but you wil rub the fenders if you wheel it.

a simple rule of thumb is (tire size) - 30 = lift needed.

If she has trouble getting in, that always gives you an excuse to get some nice rocker guards with some steps. ;)

Wish it was that easy. I put on some Warn Rocker Guards and ditched the factory steps. She had problems so I put on some Smitty Built Tube Steps. :(

She can get in and out okay right now but worried about how hard it is going to be with a lift.

Even though she will let me get a 3 inch lift I still might not. I'd hate to spend all that money and then she can't get in.

I might be stuck at 31s which is okay just not sure what to do to increase my Jeeps flex.

4WD hardware has these nifty steps that hang down from the door sill. When you're in, you pull them up into your Jeep!

So Nagal, I though I would throw the question out. Do you plan on getting rid of your Warn Rock Sliders? :)

Nope :) Talking with the wife, I might just carry a small step stool in the Jeep and she can use that to get in and out once I get some lift on it.

I went out with a friend yesterday to a trail about 5 minutes from my house. I will need those Rock Slider :)

Never hurts to ask.

I have some tube side steps, Well after this weekend I barely have any left. So I am in the hunt for some Rock sliders!

I bent them up real good. Oh well. Looks good on the road all beat up.

My Jeep is also vertically chanelleged but I hope to change that very soon :)

I agree, it never hurts to ask (unless its for raise and that can be painful)

The Missus is 5'. My TJ is sitting on 33's with 5" total lift. Her XJ is on 33's with 5.5" lift. I know what you are talking about. The Wife needs to literally climb into the vehicle. It's a bit easier though because of some thoughtful add-ons.

Rock-It Man (http://www.rock-itman.com/) has a sale on Raingler roll cage handles. These handles allow her to have a place to grab on to swing herself up to the seat. I installed the 4XD rocker guards (http://fourxdoctor.com/) which are rocker guards with an integrated rock rail that lets you pivot on trees and rocks and also serve as a convenient step without losing center clearance.

The Missus installed AJ's Super Rails (http://ajsoffroadarmor.com/RockRails/images/SuperRails_01.jpg) which give her a nice place to step up into the XJ cab.

So, in summary, you can mod your Jeep into being more passenger friendly. This beats the distasteful alternative of trading in for a new and more limber Missus. :P
