I'm in the same boat. I think I'm going to wait on the lift until I get the tires. Im thinking Rough Country 3.5 but it'll look kinda dumb with stock sport tires.

I agree the teraflex 2.5 will be perfect for you. You can get it with new shocks or stock shock spacers. Looks perfect with 35s

I ordered the TF 2.5 coil lift and 5100 Bilstein shocks from Dave at Northridge. Give him a call. Going to run it with 33 duratracs.

Sorry to jack the thread, but I am new to the Jeep world and will be going with the Tera Flex 2.5" lift with shock adjusters. Is there anything else I need to do? I will be running 18" wheels with 35 Nitto's.

X2 on running 35" Nitto tires on stock 18" rims. You will definitely have some issues. When I put my 4" lift on Discount Tire was nice enough to get a set of 5 Nitto Terra Grapplers in for me. They even dismounted one of my stock Duelers and mounted a Nitto onto my 18" Sahara rims. I had contact in the rear with the sway bar. On the front I had contact well before full turn with my air dam and sway bar.

The end result for me was replacing my 18" Sahara rims with 17" aftermarket rims. You can see my setup below, in my signature.

Good luck in you choice.
