LOL!! i'm surprised that there haven't been more fanboys pimping whatever brand lift they have on their jeep on this thread. obviously, "best" is 100% subjective and the opinions you will get will almost always come from people who's only experience is with the lift they have and are raving about and honestly, how can you really know what's best unless you've had real and personal experience with multiple lifts?

so that it's clear, there is a big difference between a 2" lift and a 6" lift and if all you're looking for is a 2" lift, there's really not a whole lot to it and i'd say that just about any kit out there will do the job fine. at 4" and 6", a lot needs to be addressed to do it right and if money were no object, i definitely wouldn't waste your time on a standard bolt on short arm kit or an expensive kit that comes with cam bolts or brackets to do the job of a heavy duty adjustable control arms. at the higher lift range, i would definitely look into a long arm kit and one that is a 4-link setup (no radius arms). this will give you the best ride on and off pavement and, if money really is no object, i would definitely look into a coil over setup like the kind that off road evolution makes. trust me, i have installed and/or personally run a lot of the kits that are available today and there really is no comparison. of course, getting a long arm setup with coil overs ain't cheap but, you did say money wasn't a factor.

The best is all determined by your wants and needs.

If we had to throw our best out there we would use one of our PRO 7075 ALUMINUM Systems and possibly pair it up with some coil overs!

But that does not mean that is the "Best" for you and your budget, baring monitary conciderations.

My friend runs a ft long arm on his tj.. has AMAZING flex and drives great everywhere. I have a hybrid ome HD lift on my jk and I love it. Rides alot smoother and more plush than stock.. I have a friend with a super lift on a jk and he likes it also.
U want a kit with more parts that corrects everything. Stay away from radius arms. My 2c.

TeraFlex has you covered all the way from a leveling kit to a 6" Long Arm kit with ELKA shocks, TeraFlex SpeedBumps and a Big Brake Kit. TeraFlex has more suspeninsion options for you JK than any other manufacture out there.

it depends what kind of off roading you do....but whatever you do save your self some frustration and money in the long run and get a good quality lift with everthing you need and dont be afraid to spend a little more on it because you will save in the long run. i think i just found that out the hard way with my RC 3.25 haha. GOOD LUCK

thanks guys lol i am pretty sure i want to set my jeep up for rock crawling, with about a 4.5in long arm kit. but also i just want to hear every ones option on the matter and the lifts they have on their jeep. the reason i want to know is because i have been a bit of research between, rock crawler, aev, evo, tareflex, and a few others. i have about 18k saved up to spend on a lift and on my jeep, and i want the best quality on my jeep. i have seen the price range from 1200 to almost 4000. i am looking for good on road quality and off road performance.

I would agree. I run the 3" lift with UCA & LCA Flex arms. Rides great and won't break the bank for a DD. For more offroad worthy vehicles the 6" long arm is mighty nice too.
