need help on which way to go on lifting my 11 JK

it is a two door

here is my thing. the jeep will be more of an EXPEDITION type jeep going over small rocks, puddles, mud. the usual stuff. not looking for something to climb huge rock piles or anything

again it will be a daily driver type on the road and want something to hit the trails with also

looking at either 3.5 or 4 inch lift. max tire size would be 35s, 37s

please help me out with this and show my the links please!!

me and my buddy can do this in the drive way or on a lift since we have all the tools also

help a fellow JKer out!!

 

I subscribed...i want to know too. I have an '11 4dr and its also my daily driver. I'd also like to know the difference between a "lift" and a "leveling kit" and do ya need one to have the other...thx

Wow...cool

but that price is a little steep right now any other suggestions

 

Give a price range and i'm sure you'll get feedback on a buncha different lifts.

This is a descent kit for the price

will give you 3in of lift, enough to run 35's

Tons of people have run this kit with no issues

 

ok ill narrow it down and go with a 3.5 inch lift if that helps any. ill keep googling around

 

I gained 4" withe the Teraflex 3" lift. You will also need control arms if you go over 2.5, so plan on rear uppers and front lowers as the minimum. You also need to replace your wheels or buy spacers. Lifting requires lengthening the sway bar links to maintain the sway bar geometry. Your stock links tuck neatly within the stock wheel. Longer links will rest squarely on the wheel or the tire or hit the frame. Look for 1.5" spacers or wheels with 4.5" of backspacing.

 

In reality with that amount of lift your going to want a kit with a minimum of rear upper control arms and front lowers. Adj trackbars front and rear or relocate brackets.( not to mention all the other normal odds and ends, swaylinks,bumpstops, brakelines, etc.) Plan on an aftermarket rear driveshaft cause the stocker on a 2dr isn't going to last long. Front ds will be good for awhile but will eventually bite it too.
The $$$ start adding up quick once you go over 2.5in of lift.
Also depending on the manf, the actual amount of lift you get with a kit may be an inch or more than the advertised height. Some give you less.
