nice, i need to get one too. honestly, i dont even understand how we are supposed to jack the jeep up with it. people here were saying lift it using the wheels or something since we dont have aftermarket offroad bumpers

Thanks for posting, same lift as mine, only I didn't get the coils. But at least I know what 35's will look like with that lift!

That's a total of 3.75", Almost 4". You should be able to go full flex disconnected especially with the chopped fenders. However like me, I don't want to cut or replace my fenders. that being said the 3" lift and 33's is a better route. Then later if he wants 35's he can add a 1.25" BL which compensates the extra 1" of radius that will be gained. Not to mention, with a lift kit vs a budget boost, you will have longer coils which will have greater travel. I promise most suspension lifts have better coils than stock which remain the same on a BB. Nothing wrong with a BB but it depends on what your trying to do. From what it sounds like, the author of this thread would be better with a 3" lift with 33's which is easier to add on to later including long or short control arms.

is it going to look like poop?

also, besides brake lines and a front trackbar what else do i need? do i also need a rear adjustable trackbar? and i looking at a totally different ball game between 2.5" and 3"?
im in mass with 33 inch toyo open countrys 3k miles if you decide to go with 33's. 1100 meet up
