If you go over the OME or TF ~2.5 inch gets you 3" class of lift you immediately need to think real hard about new drive shafts because at 4" you will wear your stock front ds out real quick. And you have to think seriously about longer arms or at least some adjustment. One thing begets another at a certain point. Don't get me started on what is really right for 35" and up tires. And once all that is done you will have one tired V6! Don't even think about adding another 4 to 500 pounds with heavy bumpers and a winch.
I stopped at the TF 2.5" coils and shocks lift with an adjustable front track bar and some beef ups to my track bar connection points on the axles. Got a solid 3". Articulates enough that this year I am adding extended brake lines. I am at 32's right now and will go up to 33's on 16's this fall. I figured that with all the mods I'd really like to do that my next mod would be to buy a pickup and a trailer to haul my jeep up to the trails!

late to the game,.. but..
when you lift a 2 door over 3" its important to have adjustablilty in your lift. You need atleast a set of uppers front and rear to adjust pinion and caster. Our 3" lifts are as advertised 3" of lift.
Ive been running my 3" since 06. Its a awesome combo for the 2 door. it still rode nice on the short arm, but rides even smoother with the long arm.

I have the 3 inch Fabtech Budge Boost Spacer Lift for 700 bucks and it gives you about 3.8 inches of lift on my 2 door, once i added front and rear bumper and a winch it leveled out at 3 inchs. However i would def get 35's for a 3 inch lift

So I need some opinions on 3" lift kits for my 2 dr (already has a 2" budget boast and 33's. I do daily driving and weekend jamboree's in the near future. I'm on the fence with a couple lift choices.
I want to spent under $800 and stick with either 3" or 4" lift and keep my 33" tires for now....possible 35" tires coming later on.
I like the Black diamond 3".
I also like the value of the Rough country 3.25" and 4" lifts.
Anyone tried the Zone Offroad lifts?
