You could save some money and go with the Tera 2.5" spring kit. In my opinion that would be the nicer kit between the two, or the 3" Tera budget spring kit.

If it is a 4 door either lift will be good.

Complete package
I purchased 4 new ProComp black steel 16x9 wheels and 4 35x10.5 XTerrains for $1,000 before tax. I got the 5th wheel for the spare the week after when I had another $250. I just kept watching for the sales.

Give me a call and we can make you a deal.
This all depends on what dealer you go to, it is not chrysler it is dealer specific.

And remember that Chrysler's starting to deny warranty service when they see 35's and lifts.

Agreed, give David at Northridge a call, he will set you up right. Speaking from personal experience, I would go with a coil lift from the start, 2.5 is sufficient. I started with a BB, loved it, but added bumpers and winches, and there it went, good old sag. David is sending me some OME HD's to solve that.

You do the same type of driving I do. Mostly road with some dirt/gravel and occassional mild off-road. You really don't need a radical lift and expensive wheel/tire combo's.
ZoSo has a great suggestion. You figure you will have about $1000 or so into your 17" Rubi rims, $200 for spacers, and then $300 or so for lift components. For instance, my RC spring/shock lift was about $300 shipped. In your case, you have decent shocks already, so you can probably get a BB with extensions for $100 or so and be plenty good.
Good luck with it.

I saw a few folks suggest the Hankook DynaPro MTs - I have them, and I'm quite happy with them so far. I got them through Discount Tire Direct (you get $50 off if you mention you're a JK-Forum member, by the way), and they were cheaper than $1500 mounted on 15" Cragar Soft 8s.
