Default 3" to 4" Lift sugestions

I need to lift my JK at least 3" (stock hight is killing me ) and wanted to get some feed back from the experts ( that would be you guys) on which is the best, worst, just OK kits out there. All feedback will be helpful. Also how about shocks? The good, bad and ugly? I want to keep the factory ride as much as possable. Thanks all!

theres a lot of info on this subject. try the search button and i'd stick with a 3" lift. 4" you start running into a lot of issues with your driveline which quickly add up to a lot of $$$$ But if thats not an issue go for it. check out the teraflex coil kits, they always give more lift than they claim also OME lifts are an excellent choice depending what size tires you want.

What size tires are you wanting to run? If you want 35" or less tires, stick to 3" or less lift. The 2.5" TerraFlex works well with 35s, and so will the 3" lifts. As others have said, there will be more mods recommended as you get past 3".
