Default Which 3" lift kit?!?!

lol i am still up in the air about what lift kit and i have been talking with several people on here about them. thanks for your patience. I know WOL has said that a 3" with 35's will go and do pretty much anything. so that is where i am going for now. my question is which brand of lift?

I did the Black Diamond. Have to say the rear springs went bad - at least one of them did. Superlift came through and warrantied the springs (new 4" to replace the 3"), so I'm happy with the results!

I based my RE vote on my needs. My wife drives HER jeep to work 5 days a week. The weekend it’s all mine. I think the Teraflex, Curry and Rubicon Express are good on and off road. I know one person that has full traction and he didn’t like the way it felt on the pavement. But that is one person; he might have a problem that could be corrected. They are all high quality units you cant go wrong. You should have had a box to check for "all the above".

Totally agree. I'm running Teraflex cause they've got reps on the board..Oh and I couldn't be happier with the performance.

Cam bolts with Rubicon Express? Really? I'm not that familiar with RE but from their past productions with tj's I assume their good sh!t...however if their using cam bolts on the jk's I'd stay away. Ask anyone who knows suspension ...cam bolts are crap if your actually wheelin. If you want to go up over 2 inches you should really replace the stock front control arms with adjustable arms to dial in your caster angle. If your going high enough to replace your rear ds than get rear upper control arms to get your pinion angle correct. Cam bolts are a cheap way to address a bigger problem.

That's what I was thinking...
If it helps any, I have a 4 door.
For those of you who put other, what lift did you go with?
