Default Lift size

I have a two door 2013 Rubicon on 35 in nitto trail grapplers, 2 inch budget boost, and bushwhacker flat flares and I'm looking to upgrade. But i can't decide what size lift to go with, 2.5 inch, 3 inch, or 3.5 inch, and on top of that, what are recommended brands? If anyone has pictures of their rigs that would be greatly appreciated!

I think with flat flares you won't want to go much taller unless you run bigger tires. 2.5" and flats with 35's is pretty solid. I run a 3.5" for my 35's but I have factory flares.

I'm running a 3.25" rough country lift with a 315/75/16 (35") and I have no problems out of the brand. I actually had a shock start leaking and I took a pic of the broken part sent that and a copy of my invoice to rough country and they sent me a new replacement shock bc they have lifetime warranties on their products!

I've actually been looking at that exact lift! So other than that leak, have you had any other problems with their 2.2 shocks? Its such a good price for them, Im worried they won't last

not at all man, the shock actually was a product of my own ignorance and not double checking I had everything tightened down. So if I would have done that then I wouldn't have even had that problem. The lift was super easy to install though! All you need is a couple good friends!
