What size tires do you want to run? Do you have 2 or 4 doors? Rubicon, Sahara or X? Trail only or daily driver? What is your budget? We need more info.

The more you lift it, the more additional mods you have to sooner later like drive shafts.

The magic threshold is around a nominal 2.5". This much lift will allow you to run 35" tires with spending much more money.

The higher you go, the better quality and up to point more complete kit you should choose if you want long term reliability.

Check out kits from Teraflex, OME, Rubicon Express for starters.

I have always been a fan of Rubicon Express, and have installed a few of their long arm kits. I would check out their 3.5" long arm kit.

How big of tires do you want to run? A TeraFlex 4" on a 4dr works with 37's, even a 3" with extra bumpstops will work with 37's. Keep in mind that our 2.5" kit on a 2dr is as high as another brands 4".

You can run a TeraFlex 2.5" coil kit #1251000 or the 3" kit #1256200 for those.
