Default Lift advice

Hey guys, I have an 08 unlimited and it is time to lift it. I only want to do a 2.5" lift and I'm having lots of trouble picking one. My budget is low ($750 max). It is mostly a daily driver but I do a little rocks, sand and mud when ever I get a chance. I have been looking at RE, Teraflex and Pro comp, any advice.

Drove my buddy's 07 JKU with Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with bilsteins and it felt pretty good on the road and very nice offroad. Think you can find them for around $750 shipped

Out of those 3, go Teraflex. You will find plenty of info about each on the site, spend some time searching around a little.

I'd steer clear of anything ProComp for lift components. Tires - different story, they are quality.

Teraflex coil with shock adapters. All the important bits are there to get you started. Coils are great, and you can add better shocks later when you need to. The stock shocks with adapters are pretty good if you have a Sahara or Rubi already. I have not needed control arms or trackbar at all, yet. My avatar pic is with adapters in the back and front. Flexes fine.
