I have a 08 stock jeep commander.
What is the best lift kit for it?

And also my friend said spacers are bad because your car can come apart or something? Whats the deal with that?

I want to put some tires on also, how many inches of lift will i need for 32 x 10.5 inch tires? Will the stock rims be able to hold the tires or will i need new ones?

Also the last time I wanted to do this the man at the shop said that id have to pay an extra 1000$ for tire pressure sensors? I know there are sensors in the tires but do they really cost that much?

Slippery slope? There was no "slope" for me... it was 2" lift then BAM, jump off the cliff.

Ha right on, I agree it was like hell I will put on a spacer lift... to I can keep up with the moded Rubis in the Jeep club, what can I buy this month.

All the 2" lifts are similar, I like the Rocky Road but there really is very little difference unless you want to go with the 4" superlift.

Spacers are fine as long as you maintain them, the only ones that come apart are installed wrong or the owner went cheap and did not buy a quality spacer.

You can get 32" tires under a 2.5" lift, the wide tires are another issue.

Tire Sensors are available for $50 each as long as you get the ones for your year vehicle, they are not interchangeable. You must have the system as part of the vehicle to use the sensors.

You forgot to mention the other 2" lift. The OME lift. It is more money then the other 2" lift kits but IMO its the best 2" lift for the Commander. And I think any lift you get the Jeepin by al upper control arms are a must have.

I'm located in erie pa, but now I'm thinking would 10 inch tires look stupid? Im a huge wrangler fan but as of right now I own a grand cherokee, a liberty and a commander ha. My friend who has a wrangler had 30x10.5 I think and I thought they looked awesome. anybody have any pictures?

I've got the 3.5 inch strut fork lift and 3 in in the back. I also put wheel spacers behind the front to avoid cutting out the liner. I have the 255x75x17 Goodyear Duratrack, I've gotten alot of compliments on it.

I agree with the OME HD lift as a bolt on DIY solution. I haven’t had any issues and find it more than adequate as a starter lift. I have wanted to try the adjustable bilistein 5100s and see what the differences are.

What brand lift did you use. Was it hard to install?
