Which lift would work best for 35" tires? I made a heavy front bumper that i'm adding an lp10000 superwinch. I want a decent hwy ride combined with sone off-road ability. Looking at TF 2.5 in both the BB spacer and the TF 2.5 coil w/ shk adapter for 09 4dr rubi.

Any of the better 2.5" to 3.5" lifts will work. Depends what you want to spend. The Teraflex is a good one and very popular. Also OME lifts give a very good ride

I've been talking to a guy who's trying to convince me to go Rough Country, mainly for their lifetime warranty... What's the word on these guys?

Cheap stuff. My opinion. They do stand behind their product though

dont even bother with their 2.5.
over all, rough country has sagging problems. you will lose about an inch over time. making 2.5...a leveling kit...

im now in debate between rock krawler 3.5 and rustys 3.25
I was between Rusty's and RK. I have my RK 2.5" Pro kit on the way. I don't think I would have regretted Rusty's, either.

With flat or trimmed fenders it would. Also put a 3/4" spacer in the front. The lift itself would clear fine but under flex it would rub with 37's and stock fenders

I've heard good things about the Teraflex and Rock Krawler 2.5" kits. Rock Krawler has a 2.5" Max Travel System that has mad articulation. You could probably run 37" tires with that kit using flat fenders, some pinch seam trimming, and aftermarket bumpers. It also has a lifetime warranty on all hard parts.

I have Rock Krawler's 3.5" XFactor Mid Arm setup and it rides great on 35" tires. It is higher than I thought it would be, so it is overkill for 35" tires. I already have aftermarket bumpers and sliders that can accommodate larger tires because they open up the wheel wells a bit more than the stock bumpers and rubicon rails, so I could probably run 37" tires with the stock fenders.
