rrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRancho? Is that what you were expecting?

I've heard very good things about Rubicon Express and Old Man Emu, but can't speak for either with firsthand experience. Here's a question: How large are you looking to go? If you're looking for a Budget Boost, they're all pretty equal. If you're looking to go bigger, some are better than others, and I'm sure you'll get some pretty varied opinions...

You should use the search feature, because you'll find a lot of great information. I've heard many opinions from many users, but because I don't have any firsthand experience to share, I'm going to butt out and just say "search and you will find." Good luck, and let us know what you end up going with.

I am personnally going with the 3 inch Full Traction Ultimate, because it is one of the most complete kits I've found but also one of the higher priced too.

Its well worth th cash, it keeps it stock ride, if not a little better..


Your going to find, whatever lift someone is running is the best... It all on personal preference and what people can afford to do..

Default Go for the most complete.

In my opinion, you should go for the most complete lift you can find, as long as money isn't an issue that is. The complete lifts usually address performance and safety issues that the "simple" kits don't, like extended brake lines, proper axle alignment, wheel travel, ride quality, etc...

If money is a deciding factor then you should go with a basic kit that you can upgrade in the future.

All of this is just my .02 worth.
