Default Suspension Question

I just broke 100k miles a couple of weeks ago and I am looking at putting a new suspension onto my JK. My wife said I should lift her, so I am looking at putting a 2.5" lift on her, my Jeep not the wife . My jeep is my primary drive as well as play so I am looking for a lift that will keep the comfort but when I do go out playing it will provide the control as well. It's just that with so many out there I am not sure what I am looking for. All advice is welcome.

I ran Rock Krawler 3.5" and it was smoother than stock was. Bilstein 5100 shocks.


My next JK I'll be going 2.5" with Rock Krawler. TeraFlex also has great reviews.

Metal cloak for the win. The most comfortable ride on the street I have ever rode in. It is also the king of flex. I recommend you check them out.

We sell a handful of different lifts, teraflex, rockrawler, AEV, EVO MFG.

What tire sizes do you want and whats your budget?

I ran Bilstein 5100's for awhile, they were an awesome all around performer. Now running Fox 2.0 Remote res shocks, a little stiffer than the Bilsteins on road, but really out perform the Bilsteins off road.
