Affordable 2.5 inch lift
Another consideration to throw in the mix is to remember that because a tire is listed as 35", does not mean it is actually 35" tall. It is a class of tire, not an exact size. which leads to: because a coil states 2.5", does not mean your new lift will actually measure 2.5". This isn't like spacers. Depending on mfg and load, those 2.5" coils could net you 2", or as we have seen a few times in the past, it could be 4". The taller you end up, the more likely you are to want to add additional components. So when you decide on a coil mfg, do yourself a favor and spend a little time searching posts to see where other people have ended up with that brand and a similarly loaded jeep. It might be good info to keep in mind as you piece together a lift.
For the rear trackbar bracket, choose one that attaches up from the axle rather than down from the frame. And note just how sturdy the bracket is. Those brackets take a lot of stress, you probably don't want to cheap out there.
No need for new front links at 2.5". Get longer rear links, then just move the stock rear links up front. Many lift mfg's suggest this at that height. (unless you are thinking about front disconnects. But with no offroad time, disco's would be a waste of money...)
Another vote for MetalCloak. Good stuff, been running their 3.5" lift for years. But it certainly isn't in the same price/quality category as the RC 2.5" you were considering. (and yes, click the link in his sig. It is one of the threads stuck right to the top of this Modified Tech area that I suggested yesterday...)

Guys so kinda decided what i would get i got a good deal on a zone lift 3 inches ik there are lots of things saying they arent as good but budget wise the things that i want along with extra AEV geometry brackets and an adjustable front trackbar i guess ill be good also getting some 35s kanati trail hog A/ts and pro cal to fix the shift points, will go with them for now and save up for something good later on. Thanks for all the help
Cheers!
Cheers!
Cant afford metal clock rn or any other name brand tires also getting the tires as a gift from my brother as he bought them but ended up selling his rig and never used them. Also the lift kit is costing me under my budget. Idk what to say now 😕
