Pros and cons of all available lift kits??
Hey guys
Name is Wolf I just bought a 2013 Jeep Wrangler 4 Door.
I do suspension work, lifting and lowering with a company called Crown Suspension
We do mostly Chevy Ford Dodge and Nissan and we are now looking to get into the Jeep Suspension. This is the first jeep that I have ever owned and looking to design a suspension kit for it, So i figured this would be a good place to start and see what people like and dislike. What kits do you guys like and what things would you change?

Looking at computer screens for lifts can be a pain. I suggest getting a quadratec mag and looking in that for options. Then buy it at another place because they are over priced.

Everyone will chime in with an opinion here. Lift kits should be evaluated from multiple perspectives. For example, quality of components like joints and arms. Or, labor to install so you know how much work your in for. Or, upgradability so you don't have to toss everything to move up from a short arm lift.
I personally now run a combination of brands since I run front coil overs.
Whenever new models of jeeps come out quality of design and pre production retesting are important. Some companies just throw lifts out on to the market that weren't even properly tested. That's when you need to know the good brands from the bad ones. However, after several years everyone gets it right (or goes out of business). Since the current model jeep has been out since 07, there really isn't any junk out there. When I bought my jeep in 08, many lifts were just entering the market and I know of brands who's lifts failed. They changed and got better over time, but they didn't invest in proper design/testing initially.
Good luck wherever you head but there is very little risk in whatever you choose.
