Teraflex 2.5"
Have done a total of 4 lifts at home ranging from the Rubicon Express 2"BB to the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with shocks. Prior to getting my first Jeep 2 years ago, I had never done any mechanical work other than to change a tire. I have to admit that I love doing it myself and understanding how the Jeep works.

I first installed leveling spacers, then an OME w/o arms, and just recently a 4" w/ all control arms. One of these days I would like to install some Evo coil overs too.

I purchased the Teraflex Elite 6" long arm suspension system and had it installed at the shop I bought the kit at. I know I paid a grip for labor but there was too much cutting, welding and adjusting for me to do in my garage (or find the time to do).

I have installed two OME kits so far. Both were very easy and both took 3-4 hours total from start to finish...and that was at a relaxed pace.
