Default Question on quality 2"-3" lift

Ok here it is....I'm new to the Jeep world and loving it. I have read LOTS of posts on this lift is great....no this one is better...so I get it everyone has an opinion and we know what they say about that. What I'm looking do do some mild trails/mud with the wife and two kids and the twice a year trip to the dunes...oh and of course our Michigan snow. This the wifes daily driver so thats the reason for the smaller lift. I want quality and am willing to spend for it. BTW I plan on running 32" on this 4DR. Just looking for a few opitions. Thanks

old man emu is fantastic...


I put a 2" on my unlimited, I drive it 80+ miles/day and it rides way better than stock as far as comfort goes.

as for offroad, the kit has more articulation than stock, netted me 4" and bounces me around alot less

Agree! If you are considering bumpers and winch...get the HD coil springs. If you are not consider bumpers/winch look at the LD or MD coil springs for a softer ride. Also, are you considering going bigger tires than 32's down the road??? If you are then look at the MD or HD coils for more lift to clear the tires.

Talk with the great vendors on this site, but I have dealt with Stan and David at Northridge for my OME lift and they were very helpful on my decision on what parts I needed for a DD and weekend warrior off-roader!

Give you an idea of the OME HD coil springs on 33x12.50 STT's netted me over 3" of lift with the winch and bumpers.

I like my AEV suspension. They have a location in Michigan, you can pick it up there.

Teraflex 2.5 coil lift. A really nice lift and perfect street/highway manners with great offroad performance.
