Rancho 4" here

Allows the use of all factory options, and according to the rancho rep, they did extensive research to allow the safe use of the factory drivelines.

Rancho is a big company with a huge following. I would place bets on their products any day of the week.

Just did a 2.5" Teraflex budget boost with spacers. Was a simple install and I clear 35"s on my unlimited Rubi.

You can run 35's with stock lift on a Rubi IF you change your backspacing to 4.5" (Spacers or new rims)

Most 2.5" kits run over 3", also you need to watch your shock length on these kits. Its not just lift height that gives you issues on the 2 door. Its also the shock length.

99.9% of lift kits allow the use of the Rubicon Electronic disconnect. You just need longer swaybar links.

Northridge 4x4 can do you a pretty good deal.

To each their own though.
its the 3" PREMIUM plus, Thanks for the words


If you have any questions on Full-traction let me know

So shocks are included in the price? What makes it different from other lift kits on the market? Does the company offer a military discount?

Just curious why the price is so high, when the kit doesn't include shocks

Cause it's not made in china and it's adjustable.... It's actually priced well. Go with bilstiens too.

Im going with this kit over the Rk 3.5...... I think, 95% sure.... Sorta. God this is a hard choice! Good luck!
