3.5 or 5.5 inch rock krawler lift? and than is the triple threat good or is the coil over system worth the extra $1000???

Rock Krawler answers PM's here. Tell them what you want to do and they will give you answers. They are very quick about answering their PM's, too. Their ability to answer what I needed to know quickly and professionally helped make my recent decision on a RK lift possible. That, and they make a great product!

I have the triple threat with coilovers as well. It is something you would make love with if you could. I stroked the coilovers while watching TV until I did the install... Don't judge...

PoorDad is right. It all depends on what you want to do, and how big you want to go. What size tires are you planning on running?

Pretty open ended question. The biggest factor is what are you going to be doing with the Jeep?

Are you going rock crawling every weekend running hard trails? Might want to consider a Long Arm or even the Coilover system.

Do you wheel once a month and run mild trails? You don't really need a Long Arm, the JK ride very good on a short arm RK Kit.

im currently running 35" mickey thompson atz, im going to probably keep this tire size even when i get knew tires

i live in new jersey so im all over the place from some mild rocks and the occasional large boulder section and than ill be on some normal dirt trails the next week.

I was thinking i might be fine getting the lift without the coilovers (fine as in saving the $1000) but i feel like i might regret it if i didnt get the coilovers.
Could i get the coilovers as an add on later down the road?
