Hello all. So spring is around the corner and I'm ready to lift my jeep. I have an 08 JK 4d Rubicon. It is my daily driver, but I take it out about once a month to the trails when the weather is good. I don't wan't a "budget" boost like the spacer style, I'd rather spend a bit more to maintain on road quality, and get more flex if possible off road.
So, what do you all recommend for a good 2.5" lift? I was originally going to do the OME one after reading the write up on the main site, but then realized that did not come with anything to fix the geometry of the front sway bar as some others do and I'm concerned about maintaining my edisco, paid quite a bit extra for all that fancy stuff after all.
In particular, how does anyone rate the Pro Comp lifts? For the month of March, 4wheelparts is doing instant $125 off plus free install, so that one is enticing but I don't want to throw crap on. It would put it at ~$400 installed , and it's a full coil lift (2.5) with brackets to bring the front sway bar down, etc.
Thanks everyone!

 

You might not find a lot of love on here for Pro Comp but I love mine. Been running their 2 1/2" lift for approx 10,000 miles with no problems. Rides, drives and performs great. No creeks, squeeks or other noises that shouldn't be there. The only thing neg I will say about the Pro Comp lift is I don't like their relocation brackets. I didn't use it. I bought adj. track bars for the front and rear.

As far as your front sway bar, most just use the rear sway bar links up front after the lift. They are longer and will fit perfectly on a 2-3" lift. Then, you just need to replace the rears.

All together on my lift, I got Pro Comp springs, shocks, bumpstops, Currie adj sway bar links for the rear, (rear links to the front) JKS adj track bars front and rear and spent under a grand. (Did install myself.....very easy)

 

Get the Tera 2.5. Everyone here loves it and it is a easy DIY install. A set up JKS discos and you will be set

 

I have seen a lot of good stuff on the Teraflex, but isn't a full (new) spring kit better than spacers? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

 

Teraflex offers both the 2.5" spacer and coil kits.

 

Yes the coil kits are better than a stock coil with a spacer. The stock coils typically sag overtime when addition bumpers etc are added. The coil kits lift the front higher (3.1") vs the BB (2.5").

 

plus with the coil lift you can do stuff like this even with stock tires/wheels (and wheel spacers)

Both Jeeps below are the TF 2.5 coil lift with shock adapters and wheel spacers.

ProComp is a good kit. I would recommend the adjustable track bars. Your driver's side rear spring and the track bar bolt are really close to rubbing. There is no room of error. So, spend the money you will save on the install for the rear track bar (at least).
I got the same deal when I bought my ProComp kit. It's a good deal. I did upgrade to the MX6 adj. shocks. It rides great for a DD.

 

Thanks everyone. This clears a lot of stuff up, especially the part about the longer sway bar end and the adjustable track bars.

I think I'm going to spend the extra and do the Teraflex 2.5" lift with coils, looks like it comes with the new sway bar link needed, and get both a front and rear adjustable track bar from Teraflex as well.

 

Cool Deal! Post before and after pics!
