Default Need opinions on choosing the right lift for daily driver

Hey everyone I'm new to a jeep forum. I want to run 35in. trail grapplers with a 4in. Lift. This is strictly a look i want to give my jeep so I don't need the best lift for off reading. However it is my daily driver so I need the best lift for the road. I was told by a friend about the readylift kit but don't know much about lifting jeeps. Please help!!! Thanks everyone

I don't want a rough ride something that will drive similar to stock height

If your not planning on doing any hard wheeling, I would just go with a 3" level kit and the 35's. If your not buying new wheels with 4.5 back spacing you'll need to run spacers.

I would say go with a teraflex or a superlift with bilstein or fox resi shocks it will give you a super smooth ride

Default lift

If you are not offroading , leave it stock. After lifting it , and bigger tires , not only will it be expensive for a good lift and tires , you may void some of your Warrantees and you wil be surprised at the hit at the gas station !

No regear yet it runs good. Up hills on the highway it bogs down a little but never drops below 75. I never had it when everything was stock in it so I can't compare to how it use to be. But overall im pleased with how its running. If I was you though I would go with a 3" lift you'll usually get around 4" of lift out of one it will keep alot more of your warranty intact & get some wheels or spacers to make it so you don't rub at full turn

You never said what's your budget. At 4" you gonna have way more issues to correct and your center of gravity will be way up there. So don't even expect same ride as stock.
