Default New Jeeper looking for some lift advice!!

I got a 2010 jku, the wrangler sport. I'm going to pockets up some 35's on 17" rims this weekend and am looking to buy my lift to go with it. Don't want to spend a ton of money, but want to do it right. Was looking at the rough country 3 1/4" lift but wanted to get some opinions on it. Let me know what u guys think. Also, shod I get a new track bar and any other pointers on replacing stock parts would b great.

Thanks guys,(and gals)
Glenn

If you want a heads up this is what I experienced the min needed and drives excellent
3 inch lift, front lower Adj Control Arms with correct adj, front adj trackbar, rear upper adj control arms with proper Adj, rear trackbar drop bracket, shocks, and if your using stock rims get 1.5 rim spacers
Possibly longer brake lines if you disconnect swaybar and rock crawl a lot

You would be fine with a 2.5in lift. Any more than that and you are going to be looking at a bit more money. Hope that helps.

You can run a TeraFlex 2.5" coil kit for those 35's. It will lift the front 3.1"/2.1" in the rear.

TeraFlex #1251000 2.5" coil/shock kit $768.99
Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Here's a install video that will show you how easy it is to install.
