#1 - They often come out looking crappy

#2 - Out of the 4 I've installed only 1 was a quality product

#3 - With the design of the JK a 2.5" Coil or 3" Coil from TF should be plenty to handle a 35" tire without many issues.

Save you $$$, you're eventually going to need a front drive shaft anyway.

I would do an OME or TF 2.5" coil lift WITHOUT a body lift. You'll have plenty of lift for 35's with the coil lift only.

ZONE OFFROAD makes a nice 4" coil lift at just about $600.00. I just put one on my '07 JK 4 door and the only problems I am having are with the steering, there is a bracket I have to buy. Besides that I am running 33's with more then enough room on stock rims. Check out this lift and see if its what your looking for. Let me know how you like the looks

I have the TF 2.5" coil lift and as far as I'm concerned, that's the way the Jeep should have come from the factory. It rides good, articulates well and has enough room for 35s.....although I'm running 32s. With the 1" BL you're talking about adding, you'll lose all possiblity of rubbing with 35s, I believe. I would stay away from going any higher than 2.5" if I were you..........unless you want replace driveshafts. Listen to planman. He's got it down pat.

its seems like the TF 2.5" coil lift seems like the way to go. but in still not sure about the body lift. i would like to have the extra clearence, and the rear bumper dosent seem to be to hard to move up. but in still wondering about the boot haha. i know its easy to cut, but can you get away without doing it? it must be there for a reason i can see cutting it leading to problems for some reason haha
