Newbie question - What do I do for a lift?

[ElDuderino]

I have decided that I would like to put a 2 inch lift on my non sasquatch stock Big Bend. I'd like to add 35 inch tires and new wheels, and I'm guessing I would need at least a 2 inch lift for this.

What's a good lift for mostly on road driving, maybe some light off roading? I have read that the puck style is not a great way to go in the long run due to early wear and tear on different suspension parts. There's so many different kits and information out there that it's kind of overwhelming.

Also, where do I find someone to install what I need? A quick google search tells me there's a 4wheelparts store nearby that does this kind of work. Should I try and find a local mechanic over this? Or just get all of my parts + installation right through 4wheelparts?

Thanks!

Sasquatch is a 1.1" lift, BL's is .6" and can run 35's. Need proper wheel offset.

Do a zone 2 inch spacer kit.
‘you will need an alignment
‘and need to remove crash bars

I've got a Non-Sas Outbanks. I have a 3.5 inch Rough Country with 37x12.5. I have Fuel Rebel -12 offset...I think. Yes, my crash bars are removed.

The dealer said I could have used a 2 inch lift and still cleared the 37's. So, you should be good to clear 35's Offset is key...pushes the wheel out so it clears lock to lock.

4WP has a 2 inch level kit with modified crash bars: https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/4-wheel-parts-factory-bronco-level-lift-kit-62210k/_/R-4WPBR-62210K

Yes I was looking at getting 17 inch American Racing Baja wheels with -12 offset, paired with 35 inch BFG’s.

Did you have yours dealer installed? Did they say anything about voiding warranty?

Yes, I had the dealer install my lift and wheels/tires (and a few other things) before I took delivery. They didn't mention anything about voiding the warranty. I think it's like a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. ;-)

In case you are wondering.....here is pic with the lift.

I put 315/70R17” tires on the wife’s non-Sas Big Bend with no lift at all. Wheels had a 0 offset. Just remove the crash bars and it clears.
