Hello Everyone, I am about to take delivery of a 2014 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited X, and I want to put on some 35" tires with possibly later on putting on 37's. I would like your recommendations on what lift is the best for under $2,500. I would really like to have reservoir shocks on this Jeep. This Jeep will be my daily commuter, so I will probably be on the highway 85% of the time, and off-road 15% of the time. My biggest concern is to have a Jeep that is "highway drivable" everyday, and not "squirley", even if I have to sacrifice some off-road ability. Any recommendations would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, King Con
We can show you what your Rubi is capable of in stock form and give you a chance to see JKs with different lift designs/brands and tire sizes.
You may decide to allocate your funds towards regearing, and run 37s with flat flares and a 2.5" lift that allows you to keep stock control arms.
I've run or driven Teraflex, AEV, Currie, Rock Krawler, EVO, Old Man Emu, Zone/BDS, Metal Cloak, and custom setups. So, I could give you an unemotional opinion.

Two things (that I am not sure if mentioned) are your drive shafts and exhaust modifications.
With that much highway, you should strongly consider our RS9000XL adjustable shock. You set the firmness of your shocks. Now that is nice.

Having a Mopar Performance warranty is no different than having a Teraflex warranty. Chrysler won't warranty Mopar Performance or Teraflex parts. Chrysler won't warranty factory parts that fail as a result of the installation of Mopar Performance or Teraflex parts. The installation of either Mopar Performance or Teraflex parts does not void the Chrysler warranty of factory parts.

Mopar and Mopar Performance are not the same. Mopar does not have suspension lifts. Mopar Performance does.
Chrysler will cover Mopar parts that are installed by the dealer. Chrysler will not cover Mopar Performance parts.
If your driveshaft fails due to the sharpness of the angles from a Mopar Performance lift, neither Chrysler or Mopar Performance will cover a replacement driveshaft.
It's not a dealer thing per se, other than your dealer made a huge margin on the Mopar Performance parts and labor on installation. So, your dealer is more likely to take the time to document failure of factory parts to show that they were not caused by the Mopar Performance parts. In the end, if factory parts fail due to the use of aftermarket parts--including Mopar Performance parts--Chrysler will not pay for it.

Privately owned. Invitation only. No charge. Cell service. No services. 30 minutes north of Billings, MT.
If you are driving through Billings for some reason--on your way to South Dakota Black Hills (Sturgis), Yellowstone National Park, Beartooth Mountains, Big Horn Mountains, Custer's Last Stand, etc.--give me a shout. I'm always looking for an excuse to go wheeling, identify new crazy obstacles, etc.
