Ok, just saw the OP's other thread about his tires 'catching' or rubbing in 4wd on paverment.
Reaperatm,
Check out the Modified FAQ sticky on the first page. This will answer a lot of your questions. As Canadian said, we generally consider a stock JK unlifted. The Rubicons ride a little higher, but that's due to stiffer springs and shocks, not a true lift. Even if you have a Mopar branded lift, your not considered 'stock' anymore.
And welcome to the Jeep family

First, you need to figure out what you are wanting to do with your jeep, how much and what kind of off-roading (if any) you want to do.

Right now I have taking it off roading a couple times, nothing super serious, just 4x4 trails. I plan on getting pretty heavy into it but I would say 95% of my driving will be on road as a daily driver.

That question is going to get you 5000 different answers, and everyone is going to tell you to go with the lift that they are running. There are hundreds of threads on here discussing the pro's and con's of just about every lift manufactured.

- Rock Krawler
- TeraFlex
As this thread progresses you will get other opinions that say get this brand "x" if you do 95% on road driving, or this brand if you do hard rock crawling, etc. Personally I have used TeraFlex's 2.5" coil lift and I to, do 95% driving and never had any complaints with the lift & how it handled on or off road. Now with my 2012 I am going to try RK's 2.5" lift kit (order placed, waiting on delivery
). Both brands are great products and they have great customer service. You cant go wrong with either one.....Budget may be another topic that comes up....For me I wanted to do it right and not worry about my initial purchase, hence why I recommend either TF or RK...Spend now or save up to get what you need the first time around.....
....Welcome to the forum....

Its all in your goals. Myself, I run 2.5" spacers and 35" km2s and I cut my stock fender flares. There isn't many trails I have trouble on with it. If I do decide to tackle a tougher trail, I just go home and get the TJ haha.
