Default What lift should I get?

I just bought an 08 rubi unlimited and want to put a 6" lift (among lots of other things) on it. I am interested in doing serious rock crawling and money is not an issue. What would you recommend? Pics would be helpful too.

i know its not 6" lift but if you want to do serious rock crawling I would def recommend the rubicon express 4.5" long arm lift. It'll clear big enough tires for rock crawling but will give you the extreme flex you'll need.

Rockkrawler 3.5" lift, long arm if you got the dough, coilovers, 38.5" KM2 tires. Front winch bumper and winch. Do the axle tubes and c gussets, reagear to 5:38. Looking at between $10000 and $12000 for the above if you pay to have it done. save about 3 grand and do it yourself if you weld.

If your are serious about rock crawling and money is not an issue you should look at the EVO long arm w/ coil overs and rear EVO lever. http://www.offroadevolution.com/
