Default The Best 2inch Lift !!

looking at a small lift for my JKU. so far i have 33.4 duratracs on stock suspension. drives good with only minor rub when turning hard right. just looking to gain some height and make it look at little better with 33's. limited budget and i thinking at just a spacer kit that keeps my steering correct as possible. it see's the bush very often as i need it for work in the back country here in Canada. see's some decent logging roads and old trails too. thanks!

looked at daystar, rubicon express, AEV, skyjacker, teraflex (2.5inch), and full traction.

The rubicon express is the first lift I ran when I first got my JK. The lift was amazing for what it is. Only problem I had with it is the shocks were too stiff (i went with the twin tube). Spend the extra cash on the monotube shocks and get some disconnects and you will be extremely impressed with the look and what it can do.

I got the 2.5" rocky road lift. Its just poly spaces. Super easy to install and it retains the factory ride and shocks. I think it was around $150.

You might also check out the Teraflex Leveling Kit. 2" in front, 1" in the rear. Only about $130.

I have the 1.75 inch Daystar kit but it lifted the front and rear of my JKU 2 inches.
