Default 3.5" lift question

2014 unlimited. Auto 3.73, gonna run 35s. Who has the best 3.5" lift? What else is required? I really want it to sit level. I hate the front end being lower look. Or should I just do 2.5" lift? Wife just got 2.5 and 33s. Teraflex. Looks good but the front appears to still sit lower IMO. I know you can fit 35s with the 2.5 tho. I just wana b bigger than her lol

I absolutely love my 2013 JKU with 3.73, 35's on a 3.5" AEV lift. It rides awesome and has a great stance. I use it almost solely for my daily driver. Only on the beach a couple times a year.

If all you are using it for is looks and moderate wheeling, I would reccomend the trail master lift. That is what I am running on my 12 2door. It actually lifted it about 4" in the front and 3" in the rear. It rides great and handles great. The complete kit with shocks you can find for around $400

Mine was 3.5 front and rear. Just keep in mind if you tow or load up gear in your jeep, leveling kits will look silly.

But yes teraflex and AEV are both good choices. Check out rock krawler too. Prob the top 3 brands for JKs

Rock Krawler and TF is up there but don't leave out Synergy/Currie/Metal cloak/Clayton

Fwiw Currie, Clayton and Synergy all run JJ's for control arm joints.
