Default BDS, Teraflex or Rock Krawler?

I am looking for advice on which lift I should buy. I have an 08 Sahara unlimited. I'm planning on running 35" Toyo m/t's on factory rims with spacers. Its mostly a daily driver with my off roading consisting of duck and deer hunts. I want a 3 or 3.5" kit. What are the must haves I cannot do without immediately? Thanks

BDS has some really bad reviews, check them out. You should add Currie to that list as well.

You can run a TeraFlex 2.5" or a 3" for 35's. If you plan on adding alot of weight (bumpers/sliders/etc) then consider a 3" kit. TeraFlex has 18 different 3" kits and and 11 2.5" kits for you to choose from.

Thanks. At this point I do not plan on adding bumpers, etc.... Which kit do you recommend? I'm looking to stay under $1000 if possible.

I would suggest the #1251000 kit for yours, 2.5" coil/shock kit. | TeraFlex Suspensions

Can't go wrong with that one. I just installed it on my rig and it's the bomb...tick tock, tick tock...Seriously though, it's awesome. I'm not just saying that because the TF rep is here or that I'm responding to the TF rep's post. I really do like it. I netted much more than 2.5" however. I didn't do too well measuring, but I'm guessing I got close to an inch and a quarter over on the front and maybe 3/4 inch in the back. The TF rep can tell you what you are likely going to see. I put 35s under there and the only rub I get is on my air dam that is just about to come off any minute now. The only gripe I had was with the instructions when it came to the rear track bar relocation bracket. The instructions don't really do a "great" job of telling you how to install it other than "Install rear track bar relocation bracket". That said, I did just look at the photo in the instructions and was able to figure it out...even with my Mississippi State Education.
