Need some advice!
I am looking to do some upgrades to my JK, I was thinking about getting the teraflex 3" lift, is it worth the extra $300 for half an inch? Also, I am considering the Cragar Soft 8 wheels with 33" Nokian Vatiiva M/T's. Has anyone ever run Nokian's? If so, how were they? They look cool as hell, but I know that isn't all that matters!!

Never heard of the tire, but I run the crager wheel. They seem to take a beating quite well. I'm running 35 BFG KM's on 17X9 and they are bent and scratched but haven't failed me yet.

I like my Soft 8s. They seem to hold up well offroad, and it's nice to know they're affordable if you do damage them and need to replace them. I have no experience with those tires, but they don't seem to have much of a sidewall, but a quick web search only revealed positive reviews.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't going to do the coil spacer budgt boost. If I was going to do any lift, I planned on doing all suspension. Thanks for your guys input!

Get the 2.5" TF coil lift. It will give you 3" in lift while the 3" lift really gets you closer to 4".
The 3" lift does come with disconnects though, and they are like $100 or so.
You may look a little tall with 33's and the 3".

I have never heard of these tires, the soft 8 wheels are great for the price, You can run 33s with a 2 inch spacer lift no problem, if youare trying to keep things low budget!

Are you planning on eventually going up to 35"s? If so yes to the 3" lift. Its a great product that will do you well for a long time, and will have the room to fit 35"s if you plan to go up. I know alot of people have fit 35"s under a 2.5" lift but that 300 dollars will be worth it if you do upgrade instead of having to worry about the 35"s being too stuffed under the 2.5" and needing a bit more room.
Also if you are considering upgrading later on and are worried about a 3" lift with 33"s, yea, it could look a little tall, but in my opinion i dont think it would look bad, it would just like you have room for improvement
