time to lift
finally lifting my JKUR, way longer than i wanted to wait.
going with the rough country 3.5'' kit, 35'' toyo's w/ matching spare, using the stock Willy's wheels, 1.5'' spacers. will add the exhaust extension, adjustable track bar and few misc things to finish it off.
need to look into tire carrier option for the 35s. wasn't planning on running toyo but i get a set of MT's 5 for $900 so didn't want to pass it up.

Good luck with the rough country, you will end up spending much more then the lift cost to ix the problems it creates with ride quality and handling. A simple search will bring up thread after thread of issues with that company. They are famous for sagging coils and leaking shocks. They will warrantee but do you really want the hassle?

I second this, get a quality lift(Rock krawler, metal cloak, rubicon express etc..) if shocks aren't in your budget just run shock extensions for the time being. Also 3.5" plus spacers is a heck of a lift.. The handling will be HORRIBLE.

Not a big fan of RE springs either, they sag too. Don't buy cheap....if budget is the issue then move down to a quality 2.5in lift, you will probably net the same amount of lift as a cheap 3.5in lift.

If you're not wanting to get into a new rear bumper check out MORryde. Do a search I have heard good things and it's what I'm planning on doing. Sounded like that was a question you had. Just one of many options.
