If I Had to do it over again, and for what I use my jeep for As a daily driver and med off roading (beach driving and light trails) I would've gone with just a coil spacer up front. With the flat fenders I'm running and front/rear bumper, I would have no issues and a Low center of gravity. I Iove my 3" BDS lift but my 35's would look and perform perfectly without it...
it's been about 10yrs since my last jeep build so when I started this build I rushed a little before I knew what my final goal was...take your time and do it once, right!

Ive recently gotten a Rubicon 6spd. Right now its completely stock. I really want to start doing some more serious off roading and am looking to get some 35" tires and a winch/bumper. I'm fairly new at all this stuff and wanted to see if you guys had suggestions on what I should do. For the bumper/winch, I want an LoD front and one of the cheaper Warns ( are they worth the money like everyone says?) Also I was wondering what the cheapest, but also effective, way to lift it so I can install some 35's. I know that BB's are the cheapest but are the suspensions lifts that much better? Whats the difference between long/short arm lifts and are they really worth it even if Im only gonna lift like 2.5/3". And when I get the bumper does the front need to be little higher, say 3" front, 2.5" back? Sorry for all the questions but all this info and options are killing me right now and I wanna make sure I do it right without spending to much.
Agree with others - a lot of options to go with re a lift. Several options to start with 'pieces' and build it up over time. Have a read of the threads... 100's on here for you.
Good luck and enjoy.
