'08 4 door JK lift
I'm getting ready to lift my '08 4 door JK. Pretty sure I'm putting a 4" lift with 35" tires.. any opinions on this lift to tire ratio, also wondering if there are any opinions on which brand of lift to get.. I'm pretty focused on Rubicon Express, but am open to any suggestions, or words of wisdom..

My vote is for Teraflex. Personally, I would stay away from RE. My Dad has/had the 3.5" or 4" RE on his Rubicon 4 door and every bushing in his control arms went totally bad after less than a year. I've seen other members on here with the same experience. Whereas, you'll be hard pressed to find negative feedback about Teraflex. Joe from Teraflex is on here and he'll help you and answer any questions you may have. Good luck and enjoy
BTW, as you can see in my sig, I've got the 3" Teraflex kit and I love it. I actually got more like 3.5"-4" out of it and I've got a hard top and aftermarket bumpers. It's a great ratio with the 35" tires. Just another option in lieu of going with a 4" kit, but I'd go Teraflex if I was going to do a 4" kit. You'll likely get about 5" or so out of it, but others would have to attest to that from experience.
