Default Lift Suggestion

Hey guys,

So I'm looking at getting this lift :

TeraFlex JK 4-DR 3" Suspension System w/Full FlexArm System & Shocks I hear that this kit will actually net about 4" of lift.

But I was wandering if I'm going to need a front track bar with this setup or not?
Also, what else would you recommend I look at that is comparable to this in the same price range or cheaper...

Right now I have nothing done, all stock 2011 Rubi, but looking at putting 35s, winch, front and rear bumper w/carrier. So the height that I'll gain I want it to stay and not sag even after all the extra weight I'll put on...

Thanks, any input will be much appreciated.

I got front and rear smitty bumper and winch xrc12 and when i received the pallet I saw the total was 560 pounds and and put a 37 " tire on the carrier like 80 more pound so when all install i lost about 3/4 " so i get 1.25 body lift at 140$ take me 2 hour to install and still have my original height and more

So I went with the 4DR TF 2.5"" coil/shock kit and it gave me back the 1"sag on the front and 3" then a solid 2 1/2" in the back... also since you have a 2011 your front brake lines will need extended... I bent mean to reach... I then check them at full flex and they are good....

NorthRidge4x4 has a sale on TF stuff send them an PM..

Yeah, that's an option.
Thanks.

You're in Québec, where did you order your stuff from? Any shipping costs or duty fees?

That's what I bought and love it.... I added the Teraflex track bar(it's beefier) and added the stabilizer kit. I got 4" of lift and I'm running 35" tires and an XHD front bumper with stinger.
