Lift sizes
 
I have a '14 JKU and I want to lift it and I know I want 35's on it. What is a good lift size? I've seen 3" and 6" just don't know what I really want. Any suggestions?

Go 2 inch...

For 35" tires i would go no more than a 2.5" lift with flat fenders. Most 2.5" lifts from the reputable manufactures give more lift than advertised as they incorporate the extra weight of steel bumpers and armour into their calc. On a stock jeep a RK 2.5" kit usually gives a 3-3.5" lift just for reference. I would even stick to a 2.5" lift for 37's with the AEV hood and incorporated fenders, but it all depends if this is a weekend warrior, road warrior, or hard core warrior.

If anyone has some pics of their rigs and can upload them on here with lift size and tire size that would be great.

What is your budget?

Personally I think 3.5" with 35's looks the best but that's just my opinion. Do some searching around the forums & you will find many different setups to give you a good idea.

Awesome rig! I'm new to the jeep world so I'm slowly learning what I want out of my jeep.

Don't really have one...still trying to figure out what I want.

I would chose some arms with currie joints(they seem to last the longest). Everything you upgrade in the front end make sure it's of great quality. If you go over 3" you'll need to flip the drag link and raise the trackbar.
