Question What's the best suspension lift

Hey guys I'm new so go easy on me. I'm looking to put 35" tires & a 3" to 4" inch lift on my 07 rubicon unlimited. Can anyone tell me what suspension lift they think is the best for full articulation, performance, and a quality fit? Thanks.

That is a tough one, it depends on what you plan on doing with your Jeep. You can spend anywhere from $500 to probably over 3k.

I don't know if there is a best, maybe a crowd favorite or the best in someone's opinion. There are alot of people on here ,I would suggest putting up a pole to see what everyone else is using and maybe that will help you pick one a little easier.

I have the full traction 3" ultimate lift with HD springs in front. I love it so far, every day driveing, articulation and very well built.

I plan on doing some pretty hardcore stuff so I'm willing to spend the money on a quality lift. IN reply to JKFlex, the full traction lift looks sweet. I also have rock bumpers and a winch, was that why you went with the heavy duty springs in the front? Also how did the lift work with the electronic disconnects on the sway bar? Thanks.

you use your rear sway bar links in the front. Works good!

HD springs help with the weight of the bumper

I think the Ultimate FT lift with heavy duty springs and aftermarket shocks is $2000 shipped.

There are several threads regarding suspension/lift kits. Most folks will tell you theirs is the best-myself included! I have the Currie Rock Jock suspension with front & rear sway bars. I had the Currie suspension on my TJ and was very pleased with the quality and the articulation was amazing. I know of a couple others on this site who also have the Currie and are very happy.
