I got my first jeep a few years back, 2011 jk sport, 6 speed, 321 gears. I had put a RC 2.5 inch lift, 35's bumper, winch. It was not as bad as I though it was going to be with the gears and tire combo of course manual help with that. I let my wife drive it and she fell in love with the jeep life I guess you could say. She went a got a 2013 JKU sport, I dove it and thought I need a new jeep. I was looking around last week and found a brand 2013 JKU Rubicon with about 100 miles on it.. I said I was not even going to look at it. ( I am such a tight a$$) Dealer said I wouldn't believe what I might get it for it for, ya ya ya I heard that before, I loof at the state inspection may 2012. WOW dealer had it for a year, something got to be wrong. Ok I will play. Went and talk to management, and after a little haggling I have a new ride. the only thing that I can see is nobody wants it because it don't have blue tooth calling or hands free I don't know whats its called. It does have 430n (I think that's what its called) sat,nav, dvd, hdd,. All I know is what I paid for it I am very happy. Now my question is ( keep in mind Iam a tight a$$) I want to put a 2.5" lift on it. I would guess the Rubicon comes with a good suspension. I don't want down grade and I don't want to go over board. Can any one offer some good advice.

 

It sounds like all you want is a 2.5" BB. Compare the components that are included and go with the mfg of your choice.

 

Agree with this. Get a Teraflex budget boost with shock extensions. Good to go. You will probably be happier than if you spent $2k. Only thing you might add is something to adjust caster (AEV correction brackets). $350 + half day in the garage and you're done.
