Best 3.5" - 4" lift - need your opinions and prices
 
I've researched many threads on this, but I wanted to hear some more opinions out there on the best, most complete 3.5" or 4" lift kit out there. Right now I am running a very basic RC 2.5" BB and Toyo 35s. I want a kit that will be good for wheeling plus reasonably smooth around town, also with great shocks. Ideally, I'd like this kit to also be able to run 37s eventually.

Please let me know your pick and also what you paid for it and whether the reps on this site helped you out.

Thanks all!

I ordered a Rock Krawler 3.5" lift kit, and there are like, three different kinds you can get. As far as I know, it can only fit 35s, but I'm sure you could cram 37s on there, maybe with a body lift? Of course, I haven't installed it yet because I'm out of the country, but I'll post about my install for sure. According to a lot of posts on this site, the kit is really good and the best shocks with it seem to be Bilstein 5100s, but I'm pretty sure that's a preference thing. Hope this helps, at least a little bit!

it really depends on how much cash you are willing to spend with that height the most complete kit would be a long arm kit. But at that height you would be fine with going with a short arm. some brands that i would recomend are rock krawler, currie, teraflex, or full traction

I am looking at the premium AEV kit, dont want to thread jack, but if anyone has feedback on that lift I'd appreciate it.

You can run 37's with this kit and any 4" TeraFlex system. Are you interested in a long arm system?

That is definitely a nice kit. I'm not sure I need the benefits of a long arm system, although I'd certainly like one. Can you PM me a price on this kit shown?

Clayton makes great lifts. I am running 4.5" premium kit with bilstein 5100's has been great on the trail as well as on pavement. Currently running 37's. You can also fit 37's with their 3.5" kit

Call and talk to Adam he is much help.

Full Traction Premium 3" or Rock Krawler Mid arm flex....I'd run Bilstein 5100s... both sponsers are great. About $1200 for either roughly. :thumbsup:

I run the Rusty's 3.25 and really like it.:beer:

I'm not sure the regularity and severity of wheeling you plan on doing, but if you are going to do a lot of daily driving with occasional wheeling of moderate to difficult trails, the Rancho 4" Sport Lift is a great product. They are offering it with a $500 rebate gift card right now making it the most cost-effective 4" lift on the market. The Rubicon version costs $1150 (less $500 rebate means it actually costs $650) at Quadratec, but it can be found for less with a little searching. Who knows, maybe the Quadratec rep on here will hook you up for less.

I've been running this lift since September 2010 and am super happy with it. Here is a thread on the lift. Have a look at it and then decide.

Good luck in your choice.

I've been running the 4" Long Arm Kit from Teraflex for 2+ years with no problems. Just make sure to keep it greased.
