Lift Kit Choice.
2013 New Sahara Unlimited. Debating a Rubicon Express 2.5 lift with monotube shocks. Or Terraflex 2.5 with shocks. Rubicon has better shocks. Daily driver only. Plan on 35s in future.

Looks like I am going to have to be "that guy". You should do some searching on this topic before you start a new thread, but it's too late for that. There are 1,000s of lift threads. Very detailed. Also tire size and lift threads. The search bar is your friend.

Just recently installed a set of Fox 2.0 shocks on my JK, while a friend of mine installed the Rancho shocks on his, and we both agree that the Fox feel much better on and offroad. Just my

I was happy with the 2.5" Terraflex when I started out. Don't stress about the choice too much because there are a lot of good options out there and it will probably not be the last lift you put on the vehicle. I have had 3 different lifts on mine so far.......

I went with Rusty's Off Road 3.25 Basic Lift Kit and works great, it came with shocks, springs and front & rear tracks bars.

Installed my new Terraflex 2.5 lift kit. New shocks, springs and frt JKS adjt track bar from Dave for $700.oo!! Had steering issue but forum guys assisted. After installing kit by myself I have a few tips. 1. To install bumpers and ext on frt end, the solution is easy. I used the scissors jack that came with the jeep, I balanced it on a-arm. It worked perfect. The kit works perfect as suggested. Control arms must go inside of sway bar. I am currently running stock 18s/tires and plan to upgrade rims and tires to 35s when budget permits. I don't have spacers on but I dont go off road. It comes out to about 3 inches on a unlimited. I installed 3/4 specrs on frt to insure levelness. Perfectly level.
