Default Lift kit?????

Hey guys I'm looking to get a 4in suspension lift kit and I'm not sure where to start. I have a 4dr 08 rubicon that will be for mostly on road use but I'm looking to get into so light trail riding. I need some help in picking out the right kit. I'm looking to spend $1500. Does anyone have any ideas or advice.

what size tire do you want to run cuz if your not running 37+ then there is no need for a 4" lift you will start to run into all kinds of issues once you get over 3.5 AEV has a good kit with everythin you need to make it right but i believe it is over $1500 I ran a 2" JSPEC with 35's and it worked great

I won't be doing anything to crazy on the trail so I'll probably stick to 35in tires.

You can do "crazy" things on 35s too.

Check out Full Traction 3" & a set of Bilstiens. That'll fit right into your $1500 budget and its a great kit.

I'm running 35"s on my JKU and went with - 2.5" BB from teraflex, run only $350 I believe and no rubbing at all even with my stock fenders. That would leave you a lot of extra cash for some other mods!
