Which Currie 4" is that? If it's the 4" Standard then I really like it, if it's one of the other 2, at $2k+ retail, Then it might be a little expensive for me.

Thank you for a lift to add to my list though

Have you looked at the Rusty's lifts? You can get their basic 3 1/4" lift with front and rear adjustable trackbar for $550. It can be upgraded easy and with your 1" bl would be plenty to clear 37's

@ Ryan0260 - I'll look into Rusty's kit. You suggested upgrades, what ones were you referring to?

Thank you

At a minimum I would do a set of jks disconnects, extended brake lines, and a 3/4' spacer to keep it level especially if you add a bumper and winch. From there can add in control arms as needed.....best part is you can build it in stages

It allows you to disconnect the swaybars for better articulation of the suspension. It is a must have item to go offroad because your swaybars limit the amount of suspension travel of the axle

A few months ago I helped Deviljeep install a Rough Country 4" x series lift so he could run 37s. This lift came with everything he needed and worked great and was within your budget with plenty of room to spare. He is also running the xrc armor front and rear so you can get a good idea of what to expect from him. Do a search for him on here and check out his pictures.

@ Gcollura - Yes, Deviljeep was the inspiration for my jeep project. So with this kit, you're saying nothing extra will be NEEDED to run 37's?

most of kit no need extra to run 37 you need 3.5 or 4" lift and you can run 37" all extra part is just to gain stability confort and durability you can just put coil spring and shock with track bar bracket or no bracket with ajustable track bar and you all go im not saying that gonna be better than facotry but you can put 37 if that is you goal
