What's a good lift?
So I don't own a Jeep yet, but I'm working on getting an Unlimited Rubicon. Probably gonna be an 07 or 08. I'm wanting to go around 3-3.5" with about 35" tires.
What is a good brand that offers the best ride quality? I won't really be doing much crawling, so it'll be more high speed fire roads or muddy mountain trails. It's gonna be a daily driver also. I know Icon made good lifts when I asked around on the Toyota forum for my Tacoma. But I wasn't sure, since jeeps are such popular offroaders, if there was a certain company that made a lot nicer lifts.

if your only going to run 35s you can get away with a 2.5 inch lift, and not worry about needing drive shafts in a few months, im no expert on jeeps or anything but i just pulled the trigger on a 2.5 rock krawler kit, and from reading about it for months, the only ones i would consider getting are that, or teraflex. but if you have your heart set on 3 to 3.5 the evo enforcer kit is also something definetly worth taking a look at
