Default $500ish need advice. Bad.

I just got some nitto trail grappler mt's on my jk Sahara unlimited. Everything else is stock. Im wanting to purchase something else for my jeep within or close to the $500 price range. Preferably from quadratic.com (I got gift certificates) what do you think I should get?? Please help me make a good choice! I off road a lot so keep that in mind. It does not sit in the mall parking lot.

IMO, do not settle for a cheap $500 4" lift. Save up for a real kit that you won't have issues with. You can go with a superchips. Will be needed in the future. You can also go with a bumper, either front or rear or a winch. Hope this helps!

I'd say save the money for a nice lift. and don't pay to have it installed let everyone on here know when your doin it and I'm sure people would come help you install if ya buy en pizza of something! that's what I would do if I didn't buy with a lift. would help with money! do little stuff too, paint hinges, wheels, grill, jeep logo and stuff black!

+2 on not lifting 4-5 inches.... I'd go with an OME 2+ or something similar. Save the $500 and put it towards the lift.
