Default Lift kit.

So I have a 2010 Jeep sport 2 door with 35's. Right now I have procomp suspension (bought it used came with the Jeep). My question is what's the best bang for your buck for a 3inch lift kit? I'm talking flex, comfort, smooth (on and off trail), reliable, ect. I go off roading about 1-2 a month rock crawling NO MUD and it's my daily driver.

it really depends on your budget and you get what you pay for. I have a Frankenlift. I chose certain components for each part being replaced. I spent more than a package deal but my on and off road ride is better than stock. I have the Full traction 3" srs with lower CAs, fox shocks, and stabilizer. And, most importantly, get an alignment done by someone who understands and knows lifted vehicles.

Yeah I don't mind doing automotive work. BUT the thing is I don't have the tools or space to do it. So regardless of what I get I'll have to take it somewhere to get installed

I just installed the Rock Krawler 2.5 kit( about 3.5) on 2 doors and love it so far. Haven't got a chance to crawl or go off road yet, but with the bilstein 5100's the ride is way better that stock and the stance in nice with full bumpers and winch.

I personally like Metalcloaks products. I have their control arms and 2.5" coils and love the ride. I bought the OME shocks today to help complete the kit as the OME shocks are what they recommend.

Here is a kit in your price range JK Wrangler Dual-Rate Lift Kit, 2.5"/3.5", ARB Edition

What you should do to find out what lift to run is find a few Jeepers that'll let you take a ride in their rig and then see which one you like the most.
