The 2.5 TF coil sounds like a good option, im looking to hit the trails, not really too concerned about rock climbing right now. As far as budget i would like to stay uner 1,000. How much do these coils usually run?

And as far as all the controversy regarding the truck comment haha, YES I do call my Jeeps trucks occasionally. SUV is a lamo term and Jeeps ARE NOT NOR EVER WILL BE CALLED CARS. I would ban myself if that ever came out of my mouth.

Thanks for all the input fellas!!!

Kind of answered my own question while browsing the teraflex site! Thanks for that link TF!!! So the 3'' lift would be good and have everything I need I would assume? and that would be minimal rubbing with 35's???

Can someone post a pic if they have this TF 3'' coil setup. If anyone has rescue green 4dr would be even better so I can get an actual visual of what im getting into.

You'll be over 4 inches, with room for 37's, so don't worry about rubbing 35's. As far as 'everything you need' goes, depends...

Look at these in the Faq's and compare components:

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
A:
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?
A:

Consider the actual lift height, and read these:

Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?
A:
Q: Are new driveshafts needed after installing a lift?
A:

Didn't notice which transmission you are getting, but if it's an auto, pay attention to the driveshaft recommendations. People are tearing the front boot at 2.5"...

Save your money for other mods. 2.5" TFlex spacer added additional 1" puck to level if you add a winch and steel bumper and you will need to cut rubi rail back 1.5" and bend over rear pinch seam. Remove and throw away rear sway bar and reroute rear ABS wiring to above axle (adds a inch or two to wiring and prevents branches from removing it for you, don't ask how i know that) then flex the crap out of her because it will flex good.




Just sayin, all of these jeeps are running the 2.5" Teraflex spacer lift one on 37" two on 35" and last on stock rubi rims but normally on 36" swampers..

Just keep in mind if you plan on adding winch/bumper down the road..the the rake will return..

Then you will have to stack pucks.. or buy a coil lift.. so if those plans are in your future get the Coli lift Now!!! So you don't pay twice for the same mod..

Don't ask me hopw I know that..
i gotta agree with this. i got the TF 2.5 coil lift because i bought a new bumper and winch at the same time. having the new coils and shocks made the suspension system better equipped to handle the recovery gear. i also have the km2's but 33's and they are awesome. the ride is great. the "truck" is my daily driver and i have no complaints.

good luck dude
