Default Best kit?
Looking to get a 2.5 to 3in lift kit. But there's to many to choose from. What's the best complete 2.5 to 3in suspension lift kit for around 5 to 6 hundred range?

You're going to get a million different answers, top two for that price range would be rock krawler and teraflex IMO

My Vote goes to teraflex because of the customer service that comes with buying teraflex at northridge! no other choice!

I have the teraflex 2.5 lift and its been great so far. I have a Rubicon so I got the kit with shock extensions. If Ur running 35's or bigger I recommend toeing in Ur front wheels 1/8" and it will ride close to stock.

you better stick with the 2.5" spring lift. You will not find a complete 3" for 5-$600

The full traction 3" economy plus is a great lift and is $550. Just need some 5100 to go along with it. Comes with everything you need. I ran it on my 12 jkur and am running it on my 13 jk

Nothing in that range comes with arms and they are not absolutely necessary. I am not running them on this jeep, but did on my 12. A friend that i wheel with ran this kit on his 11 jkur for 40k+ miles with no arms and no issues.
