Need some help here, I will soon be purchasing a lift for my '08 Unlimited Rubicon. I know there are a ton of options but I want to purchase a quality lift once and not worry about upgrading over the years. I know I want to run 35's adequately so I am thinking a 3" or 4". I just can't make up my mind if I want a long arm lift, if you purchase a short arm can you upgrade to a long arm? Thats about the only thing I would consider upgrading. The two lift kits I have the most interest in is either,

Off Road Evolution EVO ENFORCER Package, price 2150.00

Elite LCG JK 3" Long Arm Suspension System, price 2681.00

Couple of questions, what is the difference between FlexArms and Long Arm suspension? I like Evo because of the shocks but with Tera Flex you get the Speed bumps, but no shocks.

I would just like to know what experienced JK'ers would do with a bank roll of 3k, been saving for over a year now and want to purchase the right kit once. I'm not looking for extreme offroading just a high quality lift kit I can enjoy in a place like Moab or the Rubicon.

Thanks for the help.

 

sounds like you want to do some heavy offroading with a kit like either of those and spending that much!!!

 

Try looking into the Clayton 3" lift kit they have an awesome setup and then there is Full Traction, they have different 3' lift kits at different price ranges. Plus if you give Dave at Northridge a jingle he is have a sort of moving sale. Personally if i had the money to spend on an awesome lift kit i would get Clayton their warranty is awesome and for the money you are spending that warranty is worthy its weight in gold.

 

The Flexarms are their regular adjustable arms, or short arms. The Long arm suspension requires cutting off the factpru control arm mounts and welding new ones for longer control arms. You can choose what ever shocks you want as long as they fit your lift. What ever kit you buy, get it either with the shocks you want or get it without shocks and purchase the shocks you want separately.

Personally if I did it again I would spend the extra money of a long arm system and if I was really going to go all out I would get some EVO coil overs to go with it. A long arm system will give better flex, droop, and a better ride both on and off road.
