Default Lift options

this has more the likely been covered a billion times, but i narrowed down my choices and would love your inputs. I am a noob to jeeps, so bare with me please. I been searching high and low through almost every forum seeing what suits me. I am looking for a lift kit that i will fit 35s and maybe 37s later. Here are my three options i have narrowed it down to:
Option 1:
Rock Krawler 3.5" Mid Arm Flex system
Rancho 9000xl shocks

Option 2:
Rubicon Express 3.5" Standard kit
Teraflex LCA's
Ranho 9000xl

Option 3:
Teraflex 3" kit
Teraflex LCA's
Teraflex front Trackbar
rancho 9000xl


those are the three options im stuck at. I will be DD the jeep until sept. I will hit some rock climbing every once in awhile and mostly desert trails. Please your input will help.

All good choices.

I vote for rk. Also, it seems as if you are set on rancho shocks, but I would consider rrd or king. Even bilsteins reservoir shocks before I would consider rancho.

I have the same and I love it! Rides super nice and flexes hard! I opted for the bilstien 5100 shocks though.

Teraflex went with 3 " on two door w/ 8 flex arms on 35s. Went up Poison Spider Water Fall in Moab no problem.

i should of done a poll on this. i see the rock krawler and teraflex being the top choice. only reason i looked at the rancho 9000xl was because it was a little cheaper then bilstein. However i dont mind saving a couple dollars more for bilstein.

Im really leaning toward the rock krawler since it has all lower arms already and the track bar. adding that for the tf is more pricey.

thanks for your input guys.
