Default Show Off your 3" lift

Just picked up another jeep since my other was totalled. It has a budget boost but I am looking to move to a 3" lift probably TF. I loved my 2.5 coil but figure why not get a 3" and later down the road control arms, flex arms, etc...

Show off your 3" lift please

I highly recommend going with Rock Krawler, they seem to shadow TF on this forum. I went to Rock Krawler's facility and was impressed with the people working for them along with quality of lift.

I do not want to start a flame war or say TF is not good, as I do not know first hand. I am just expressing an option besides TF.

I went with the 3.5 Mid Arm Flex.

I will try to get pics up soon!

I am definitely excited to see the 3" lift pictures because this is the height that I want. I just can't decide what product to go with. TF, RK, EVO, Full Traction, OME, or Currie... too many choices for me to decide. There are good things about each one I guess it comes down to personal preference or what you have experience with.

I know I want a good ride quality with 35's, more or less a DD, just because of where I am stationed for now, and want to spend right around 2K.

I have the OME Lift from David @ Northridge. I opted for the 3" Teraflex springs instead. However, the OME +40 were not out yet. I think I would go with them . . . I am More than happy w/ the system as is but, you may want to look at WOL's w/ the +40.

Here is a pic of my lift:

Looks really clean, but you forgot about the spare!

Uhhh . . . no I didn't! That was taken the day after my lift and my 5th MT/R was sent back due to a balancing issue. Clean yes. It had less than 3K miles. FWIW . . . It now has 11K and is still almost that clean. Yes I wheel it. I clean and maintain it when I'm done wheeling.

Actually, the kit I received is comprised of three of the mfg's you listed above. TF, OME, and Currie. I highly recommend this system. David @ Northridge has my business for life. I can't explain how wonderful it is to deal w/ Northridge4x4. But don't take my word, ask anyone who has dealt with him. INCREDIBLE!

about 3-4 days after I bought it...went from stock to this...had the dealer install the lift, wheels and tires.

More recent pics...more details in sig.

I just like this picture...my daughter and I stopped in Glenwood Springs, CO on our way to Moab in April...had a great time and she's my little 4-wheeling buddy

I didn't mean "clean" as in it isn't dirty, I meant it looks like a clean build..... lol. I am hoping that my jeep will have a similar build very soon.
