I'm going Teraflex 4" or higher. 2.5 will get you there for 35s, but I'd rather have more than enough room than the bare minimum or too little.

Go with the best get Teraflex

Gus from ORW can get you a good deal.

Joe from Teraflex is a really good guy to.

Vinson, you don't sound like you're gonna need a whole lot of flex, so a huge lift might be overkill. Prolly a 2.5" BB will get it done for you. Having said that, if you want to go bigger without dropping tons of $$$$$, I highly recommend the Rancho 4" Sport Lift. I've got it and it's quite nice. Search for Rancho Sport Lift in the forum. You'll see how happy I am with mine.

I need to mention it costs $1000-$1150 but Rancho has a $500 rebate right now, making it $500-$600 net. That's just a bit more than a BB and it's 4".

It's something to consider. Good luck.

Thank you! Vinson if you have any questions about TeraFlex suspension products, give me a call.

I choose the Rock Krawler 3.5" X-factor. Nice kit, but pricey.
Love it!

One nice thing is it moves rear axle back 1" for additional rocker pinch rail clearance.





Cheers,

Hey Joe if I went with your 3in system would I need drive shafts? Also would that be overkill to run 35s? 37s maybe in the future though.

How was the install on the 3.5 x factor txjimmy? Have you upgraded your DS's. Sweet jeep BTW

Thanks! Mine is the X-factor Pro (aluminum arms). Northridge 4 x 4 hooked me up. Running Bilstein 5100 shocks, TeraFlex lower bumpstops. Moog tie rod ends for tie rod and drag link that come in kit.
It took me about 12 hours in my garage with air tools. Had a good helper too!
I have a ton of tools...you will need a lot of bigger size wrenches and sockets to do the install. Great kit, top quality!. The guy that did my final alignment was impressed with the kit quality and the extent of components supplied. He installs a lot of lift kits on all types of vehicles.

I think my DS's will be okay for a while and don't think the rear DS is unhappy at all. No driveline vibrations at all! The 4.10 gears don't seem too bad to me (6 speed manual).

Rides great!

I looked at Clayton & TeraFlex too. I thought the Rock Krawler was the most complete kit. I went with the aluminum to cut down on weight.


Cheers,

Maybe not at first, but if your doing alot of flexing/wheeling then you better watch them. If it was me, I would change them right off, that way I don't have to worry about them.

I've been using the 2.5" suspension lift from Teraflex with 35's and absolutely love it. Their product is pretty solid, with the exception for that one bracket having it's hole misaligned. (don't know if that was ever resolved.)

I've always been told that going above 2.5" on a 2 door you most defiantly need to replace the driveshaft as for the 4 doors, i think you need to replace the drive shaft earlier, but 2 doors you can get a little more lift out of the stock. I've been running this setup for about 2 years and still on the stock driveshaft with no issues. although i feel that should be the next item on my list to replace.

I would also strongly recommend getting a better steering stabilizer, the factory one i felt was crap. rough country has a pretty nice duel steering stabilizer thats pretty inexpensive.
