I have an 11' JKU Rubi. I am wanting to lift my Jeep to run 35s initially then in 3-5 yrs run 37s. I really like the OME 3.5 HD Long Travel. But it is a lot more expensive then the lift below
So my question is would you recommend me buying the below lift to get 35s then later replacing the lift with the OME and upgrading to 37s
Are there any issues with replacing lifts, are there any flaws in my thinking?
TF BB Lift

Also would you recommend this TF lift as the best bang for the buck, and I will have someone else installing the lift as I am mechanically challenged.
I am a beginner/intermediate off-roader that off-road maybe once a month, and this will be my dd for several yrs.
Thanks so much for your input.

Re-consider installing yourself. It really isn't difficult, just a little time consuming if you have never done it. I would suggest that when you have decided on a lift, throw a post in the Staging Area for your neck of the woods and get a little install party going. The odds are pretty good that you will find some folks willing to lend a hand, and more than likely they will have all the tools needed.
As far as your lift progression goes, it is fairly common. And it is also common for people to regret spending money on a BB and wishing they had gone straight to the taller coil lift. And straight to 37's instead of 35's. Nothing wrong with going either route, just depends on your budget and needs.
If you are looking for 'bang for the buck' to get you by until you swap in a coil lift, look at RC.

Go for the coil kit, it's just as much work as installing the BB kit but with better end results. Thanks for considering a TeraFlex lift. If you have any questions, call me.
