I bought the Rough Country 2.5 it comes with A track bar relocator bracket etc... might want to check them out pretty good price.

I too am a huge fan of the Rough Country lifts, but if the OP wants a complete kit the RC kits are anything but, especially for a 2 door.

You might want to call Dave @ Northridge 4x4 and talk to him about the Old Man Emu stuff he sells. He should be able to get you a really complete kit that will net you the 3 inchs you are after.

X2 on calling Dave, also think about the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift...but, both OME or TF are outstanding products!

X3 on calling Dave at Northridge. He is awesome and you absolutely cannot beat their prices and free shipping on orders over 100 bucks. I went with a lift outside Northridge though and got the Rusty's 3.25" kit and it too is on a 2 door. I really like it, but have seen some not like Rusty's stuff at all.

X4 on calling Dave at Northridge. He is awesome. I just bought my 3" Teraflex lift kit from him.:thumbsup:

You can put in a 3" inch lift, but over time on a 2dr you will get a split in the CV boot on the rear drive shaft because of the constant angle, loose grease then only a matter of time before you'll have to replace. The other problem is that drive shafts on 2 door autos can catch the the tranny skid and tear the boot
Some replace with aftermarket shafts and or notch the tranny skid with a die grinder to accommodate for the steeper angler.

But less than a 3" should be ok right?

From what I've gathered it really all depends on the amount you actually net from the lift. One of the major reasons I went with a 2.5 BB for now. I know there are plenty more benefits from a true coil lift, but I was impatient. Once I take care of a few other mods I'll be looking at replacement driveshafts, then do the proper lift. Just my .02. I'm other guys on here will probably chime in with their thoughts.

I am in the same boat and looking to lift my jk. I'm looking for a coil lift. donno if i should get the OME 2" coil lift or the terraflex 2.5 coil lifts.
