I would recommend the Teraflex budget boost or their 2.5 coil lift. At a time you would want to run a 33 or 35 tire you could do either and the ride would be really nice. $500 for the 2.5 or a lot less for the budget boost. Keep it simple for you.

I just bought a 2009 JKU Rubicon and plan on lifting it pretty soon but I don't know what brand or what size lift I should get. Its a daily driver and I don't plan to take it offroad much yet plus im a college student so I can't afford a really expensive lift. Im leaning towards a 3.5"-4.5" lift and 35" tire but I don't know how this would look or what brands I should go with. Any help is great and I love pics! Thanks!
Your getting great advice with going with a 2.5 lift for a Daily Driver and you'll still be awesome on the trails... (2.5Teraflex Budget Boost is a great kit)
Good luck

If you're not doing alot of wheeling and just want an agressive look, go with a small Teraflex lift such as a 2.5 coil with shocks. Then you add a set of nice flat fenders and rims and tires. What you will end up with is ample room for 35's and an agressive look. This will also keep the Jeep lower to the ground for better handeling and ease of daily use. ( not having to climb in and out ). If you change your mind later on and want to go bigger it's not a problem as the flatties and 35's will work fine with a bigger lift. I am on my 5th JK now and have done everything from spacers to my 6" long arm that I have now, I am also in MD and can point you in the right direction to look at lifts in person and for installation. Good luck .
