Default Help with lift options on wife's 15 JK!

Hey guys,
I am looking at getting a suspension for my wife's Sahara 15 jku. I'm looking at a 3-4" lift and 35's. She will not be wheeling much if any(mall crawler) so I am looking for a good riding lift, doesn't need all the bells and whistles. I would like to be under 2k if that is possible. Does anyone have any lift suggestions within my price range?
Thank you,
Justin

AEV 2.5 with control arm brackets

You don't need 3-4 inches of lift for 35s. Especially if you're not flexing it out.

Yep X2 on this. Very happy with mine and my intended purpose. Rides and handles great.

AEV 2.5 is a good price too. I'm putting one on my Jeep this spring. The Offroad shop I work with has great things to say about AEV too. (I haven't driven a Jeep with one yet.)

Yeah, if its just gonna be on the street, get a budget boost and save the money. The Teraflex gets you closer to 3" anyways on a 2.5" boost.

Thank you for the suggestions guys, but we are wanting bigger than the 2.5. I put that on her last jeep. I understand 35's will fit on much less, it is just a personal preference.
And no, the 2k is not for lift and tires... Tires alone nowadays are 2k.
Anyways, does anyone have any suggestions on 3.5" or 4" lifts?
