I know for sure the lift kit on this jk is teraflex yet I have no idea if it's the 3" or the 4", anyone know? by the way those are 35 km2s and bushwaker fender flares. Also, does anyone have any idea about what bumper is that?

(sorry for bad quality pics)

All you need for 35s is a TF 2.5" lift, which will give you a bit over 3" of lift. Here is my jeep with a 2.5" lift and 33s

yea i also think that is a 3. you got to remember that the teraflex 4 yields about 5.25inchs of lift. those 35s would looks way smaller.

Good info. Why is that a 2.5" lift provides MORE than 2.5 inches? I was looking at 3" lifts.. but I really don't want any more than 3 inches. Perhaps 2.5" is the way I should go after all...

The Teraflex kit will give you around 3.1" up front to correct the factory rake and to also allow for the addition of a heavy front bumper without the sag causing too much of a decrease in your lift height.

to compensate for all the steel accessories we bolt onto our jk's all teraflex lift yield more lift than advertised. this is not the same for all other lift manufactures.

i also have the tera 2.5 coil and got around three inches. it is the perfect kit if you are trying to avoid swapping out drive shafts and controle arms. plus it fits 35 real nice!
