Smile Lfit Kit questions

So im new to this forum and discouvered it because I'm Looking for info on the best bang for my buck.. I'm trying to put 35 " tires on my JK but know i need a lift kit to do so. Was trying to stay under $2000 for the lift Would like 2.5 - 4 in lift. Not sure wether i need a suspension lift or just a body lift, but would like more clearance, as i have smacked up the skid plates and the rear diff already. I do go wheeling and like to play in the mud, but as it is my daily driver I try to not beat it up to bad. I know it is best to re-gear with 35" tires and a new front drive shaft is recommended, as it is an automatic. Any help is much appreciated

Does $2000 include installation costs?

Here are some options that I've seen popular and recommended:

$1,274+: AEV Dualsport ST 3.5"
1,674+: AEV Dualsport SC 3.5"/4.5"



2.5"-4":
Teraflex makes a ton: http://www.teraflex.biz/

Rock Krawler:
2.5" Mid Arm: http://www.rockkrawler.com/pages/cat...p?r_itemID=340
3.5" Mid Arm: http://www.rockkrawler.com/pages/cat...p?r_itemID=341

Just be weary, depending on the year, if you go to about 3.5/4" you will possibly need adjustable LCA/UCA, a new driveshaft, etc.

The AEV 3.5" will come with drop brackets so control arms up front won't be needed. I'd recommend this kit. You will notice that I have a TF kit and I'm recommending the AEV. Take that as you will
