I definatly welcome the information and don't think your trying to shove anything at anyone. I,ve had a few jeeps all with diffrent lifts and based off of that history am going to end up with one of these two. By the way thats a nice JK. My brother has the 2 door and is considering lifting it and putting 35's on. I'll have to show him yours so he can get a good visual.

Thanks

35's for now. I'm sure within a year that will change as it always does. That's another reason I'm going to end up with either BDS or teraflex. Both can be easily upgraded.

I have the 3" BDS kit. It was about $650. I think it is great. It gives what it says... 3" of lift, no more- no less. Since there is a slight rake stock, you will still have one. My one regret with the 3" kit is the cam bolt design for the front lower control arms. We knocked out the tabs as instructed, so I will need to have some welding done if I want adjustable ones installed. Also, I went with the base shocks in the kit. I think they are Hydros, but they ride nice.

I wish... then I could get some discounted stuff.

Ya, I looked back at those posts and realized I am that lame ass that tells everyone the lift I have is best. lol. I deleted some of them to clean up the thread. A lot of people run BDS and like it, I just think having teraflex here to talk to if there is a problem counts for a lot. I am sure any system you go with will make you very happy. Bet of luck.

I have 4in superlift with TF frt lowers, I'll be replacing all the ctrl arms with TF when I get the EVO system, they are always on this forum to help. The beefiness of their products and support are great as bigbluejk mentioned. For them to be a sponser and a to be as helpful as they are on here goes a long way with me. JMOHO.

Nothing wrong with being proud of your lift! Plus, everything you said was correct!
