I have the 2.5 coil lift and it brought me above 3" on my 2dr. I dont have any drive shaft issues at least not yet. If you get the 3" which will put you way above 3" I believe your chances of adding on extras (drive shafts, flip kit etc.. ) are going to be much higher. If your only running 35s ide go as small as possible. If and when I choose to add 37s im just going to add a 1" body lift and call it a day. I also have cut fenders. Hope this helps

Here is my TF/Mopar 3" lift on 35s. The only time I rub is when I am turning sharp going down hill. Mine came with Fox remote reservoir shocks. I couldn't be happier with the looks and performance of my setup.

Thanks Finisher. This is exactly my dilemma. You have the 3" and you look like you've maintained the factory rake, slightly dipping in the front. Yet I've seen other TF 3" lifts where the rig was leveled from front to back.

It seems like a roll of the dice as to what effect you're going to get with a certain lift.

I ran TF 3" with 35s for a year and a half. It was perfect IMO. I changed to 37s and it wasn't quiet right for me so I changed to 4" TF springs, 4"-6" Bilsteins, added a few more control arms (my 3" kit came with front lowers and rear lowers----I added rear uppers), and had to change out the rear brake lines and then it was perfect. If you're going with 35s go with the 3". You can always upgrade later for larger tires.

Yep, thanks T&E and everyone else. Got the order in for the 3" TF
