Look into Teraflex lifts they make great lifts. For a daily driver 2.5 - 3" lifts are perfect. You can run stock to 35" tires on these lifts my only suggestion is you do an actual suspension lift and pay attention to what you are buy and putting on the jk. i am currently running a 2.5 with 35x12.5 tires and mine is a daily driver.

Nice jeep,I definitely want to do a suspension lift no spacers or body lift. With the lifts on a jku can you use stock rims but need to use spacers on the wheels.

Is this going to be strictly a DD? Or are you going to be doing some trails too?

I don't want to spend a lot looking around 5 or 600 maybe I don't really have the spare cash to buy something crazy expensive
