Id say either a 2"bb or a 2.5" cool lift or bb. You will end up wanting 35's and these lifts will accommodate what your looking for. Might need to trim fenders to run 35's comfortably but that's on you. Hope this helps!

You'll like a 2" budget boost or coild lift. 33" tire is a great tire for that and your ride will remain more factory. Plus, if your short you won't have to tarzan swing in.

They are very well respected , Nobody where I live sell's them . And since I was going to have a shop due the install. I didn't think it was right to order online an then have a shop install them if they didn't sell the part's, that's why I went with Rough Country . Have fun with any one you go with . it will be a better ride with any one you go with

i'd go with the teraflex 2.5" coil spring lift. It will be fine with the stock tires, but still work when you get ready for 35's.

I have a 2.5 budget boost and am currently running 35 inch tires. You can easily fit up to 37 inch tires on though. The budget boost are very inexpensive and easy to install!

Can't wait to see pictures once you have made up you decision!

I've heard from more than one source that the Rough Country coil lifts and shocks are prone to sag over time. Even as short as a year.

I run that Rancho 4" Sport Lift with BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's in a 315/70R17 (35" class) I love the lift. My rig is a DD with occasional moderate to difficult off-road use. I've chimed in on many threads about this lift. Do search for "rancho 4 sport lift" to find out a lot more. If you factor in the $500 rebate from Rancho, I don't think you'll find a bigger bang for the $.

Here are some gratuitous shots of my rig with the lift and tires.

Good luck in your choice. If you decide to go with the Rancho, please post your impressions here https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...cho+sport+lift
