Default 2.5 to 3 inch lift for 2dr JK

Looking for a good 2.5 to 3 inch lift for my 2 door. Everyday driver on the highway. I will run a 35 and no larger tire, re-geared to 4.88, also want to be able to run some north GA Tenn trails with some moderate wheeling. I know a long arm is way overdoing it for my area. So I know there are some opinions out there. What say you?

I went with 2.5" Teraflex coil kit for a 4 door on my 2 door since I knew I was going to run bumpers/winch. I still think I may add some small additional spacers once I get the rear bumper on. Love my Bilsteins also!

I appreciate the feedback. I like Tereflex I just wanted to make sure you folks were happy with them. They have been great with questions as well.

Thanks

I used a 3" Zone lift. Installed in my man cave by myself in about 6 hours. I'm running 35-12.50-17 KM2 with 4.56 gears and a six speed. You will need some 1 1/2" spider trax spacers if you use the stock rims. The Zone kit comes complete with coils,shocks and all the hardware you need for less than $500. Here is and old picture.

Have you been able to compare the 2 dr lift with your 4dr lift. Sound like this may be the way to go since I have the the front ACE bump and winch as well.
