Default Most complete lift to run 35's for less than $900?

Just purchased a 2007 2 Door JK that has a 5" Sky Jacker and 37's. Only problem is my wife hates driving it being that big.

I want to go down in lift and just run 35's. Ride/Drive quality is a premium as it will see most of its time on road. I don't plan on doing much crawling but will do some light trail riding with some buddies with jeeps so would like for it to be capable also.

I have looked at the TF 2.5 Coil Lift with Fox Shocks as I can get it for $745 shipped which would leave some $$ for an adjustable trac bar or front LCA's.

I really appreciate any input that y'all can offer.

Thanks,
Chris

Only problem with that is I don't have any of the factory parts that the 5" sky jacker replaced.

You can also look at the teraflex 1.5 inch kit its a little cheaper and would leave room to add components that you might want. Just a sugest there is also the Rock krawler 1.5 kit that is a little more complete both will net you close to 2.5 which is plenty to clear 35s.

I run the TF kit and love the ride i got the Tf tuned fox shocks as well.

Happy jeepin

What parts does the SC lift have, anything adjustable or that you can keep?

A simple 2" budget boost or leveling kit will do the job, you can pick the flavor you want. You will also be looking at maybe a pitman arm, fixing cam bolt holes, and removing other drop brackets that may have been installed. If you have SJ control arms you may have to find a set of factory arms to replace them.
