Get the RK stock mod kit with bilstein shocks, that's close to your budget. Plus the rk springs wont sag from the weight of your bumper and winch. I had the tf 2.5 lift and I ditched the springs for some rk springs.........waayyyyy better

Last month I put on the 2.5" RK Flex lift + Bilsteins from Northridge and within your budget. Been very happy with it. Don't have any other lift experience to compare it too though.

Get 15" wheels if you never plan on going 37's

Give BustaBizz a shout at 4WD... Has always given me the best prices on the forum.

I'm on my 2nd JK both with 2.5" TF coil lift and 35's and both have driven great as a daily driver and great performance and issue free off-road as well !!! Well within your mentioned budget and you could probably throw in a front track bar and LCA's.

Good Luck!

On a 4 door, I will do nothing under a 3" lift. On a 2 door you can get away with 2,5". Save up some money for a front drive shaft and do it right the first time. It is only $360 to $460 for one, depending what you get. There are tons of people that torn their drive shaft boot with a 2,5" lift, so you will need it sooner rather than later.

Or get 15" wheels if you plan to man up when you go to 37's and run Pit Bull Rockers or Swamper IROKs.

Ahhhhhhhhh soo many options, why can't this be simple.


Josh I'm not made of money like Nick, although maybe i will just steal his.

I don't want to just step into my jeep I want to have to somewhat try to get in lol.
