Just bought my first jeep, a 2013 JK 2. Door. After years of saving I finally have my dream. Does anybody have suggestions on a 3-4" lift kit. There's so many companies and a huge price range. I travel highway for work and will go off roading a few times a year. Any help will do for a newbie lol

Check out NORTHRIDGE4x4.com
They have a lot of great stuff and great prices.
I went with a 3.5" Rock Krawler mid arm kit and 315/70R17. Sits just high enough, rides outstanding around town. Actually making my first road trip today, see how it handles on highway conditions..

I agree with Phillip. I just did a ton of research myself. I had Teraflex 2.5 kit w/ shocks and springs on my last Jeep (2010 JKU Sport) and its a great lift but just rode a bit stiff. I actually clicked 'purchase' on a Full Traction but then later read they are having a lot of problems with their bushings. So, ultimately I went with a Rock Krawler 3.5 Mid Arm w/ Bilstein 5100 shocks. I cant swear by it because it hasnt gotten here, but its where the feedback will lead you.

Alright guys. Made my first road trip today. Roughly a 150-160 mile trip. Ran about 70 the whole way. The road was terrible, but the Jeep rode pretty dang good. I am very impressed with the road manners. My Jeep is just a little flighty and had me white knuckle drivin a few times, but other than that its great. I was mainly nervous about the new 35" treadwright retreads, but they did great too. They are a pretty noisy tire, but I like the sound. I did a small bit of off roading before my trip, mainly deep sand and whoop sections. I love this kit, highly impressed. I would give a 8 out of 10. I rub with 315/70R17's, but Im gonna stubby my stock bumpers and fenders anyway..

I have the Terraflex 2.5 coil lift with Bilstein shocks. All for around 800 bucks from Northridge4x4. Yhis along with 315/75/R16 BRG KM2 tires raised my 2 door JK arond 4 inches. Slightly over three before the tires.


It's all about what you want to spend.

I with crawdaddy on expense, its also the look youre after. I wanted a bit more height, i really like the lift crawdaddy has, plus you can run the slightly less expensive 33' tire

That is the exact kit I have and I love it. Its a bit flighty on the high speed freeways n such, but its still a great lift. Plus if you feel like going and playing a bit you have a fantastic setup ready to go. My only issue is I rub with 35's, but I will be doing some trimming
