Default lift kit question

I have a 2010 jk sport 2d that I would like to lift 2 to 3". I was wondering if anyone is using the Kore kit? Or knows anything good or bad about it? This is my first jeep and my first post. Thanks

i have seen the kore kit but nobody i know runs it. why? maybe because it's over priced and offers little to nothing that more affordable and more complete kits made by tried and true companies provide.

So what lift kit would you recommend keeping in mined that I go 4 wheeling two times a month or so and my jeep is my daily driver of 55 miles a day? O and my budget is limited.

There are plenty of top notch companies to look at. You might start with the Teraflex 2.5", OME HD (or the OME LT package from northridge), RK 2.5 max travel.

Just put on the teraflex 1.5" PErformance Leveling kit. It is the coils and sway bar links. Got easily 2 inches in front and 1 or more in the rear. Old springs had sagged a bit so this thing looks really tall to me and it was fairly inexpensive from Dave at Northridge.

I guess I should've said that I'm running 33 inch tires right now and want to move up 37" with flat fenders in the near future. But I don't want to put on a long arm lift kit right now.

Run a 3" kit, It works perfect for 37's. I would suggest looking at our 3" Premium Plus kit, Maintenance and Noise free..

You just need shocks. Everything else is included. I'm sure Dave can work out a deal on them

It doesnt cost anything to call in and ask

If you never disconnect the driveshafts should last awhile. A 3" kit does not automatically mean new driveshafts.
