Appreciate it fellas!
This is mainly for hauling furniture and moving stuff between rental homes but I will be using it in the sand, beaches and done minor off road stuff. No serious rock crawling or anything like that.

I do want the lift to be done right.
I went through countless suspensions on all my sports cars till I finally settled on the bilstein pss9 and 10 permanently for all my needs in that area. Even though hks and kw have amazing reviews they just didn't fit right with me and it's that real world feedback that made the initial switch and the real difference.

I'm continually reading and looking at them but nothing speaks louder than the personal reviews and guidance from fellow enthusiasts like you that have tried and tested them with real world experience and feedback.

I don't need a huge lift, just something modest since I'm thinking a 32" tire will provide the right look, utility and clearence for what I want to do.
I will say I'm a master at lowering and corner balancing a car but I'm a complete noob and out of my element when it comes to lifting them

Doesn't the Sahara already have 32s from the factory?

Yes, I meant to say 35"

I would rather get suspension parts brand new. Everything has a life and I plan on using it quite a bit as both a DD, vacation vehicle as well as some minor offroading.

Nice looking rides.

If you're going to take it off-road, consider skid plates early in the build!

I just installed a procomp 2.5" lift on my 07 Sahara, my only qualm is there was no brake line bracket extensions in the kit so I'm gonna be getting those ASAP, but other than that I think it's a good lift so far, granted I've only had it on a few days, and I went with their es3000 shocks, guy at the shop said it would give me a better ride than the 9000. And I definitely recommend professional installation, it was a chore getting the springs in there...
