The wife and I did White Rim Road and Arches with it last week. Since this is my first Jeep, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with what I thought were some crazy roads.

However, I would like to be able to climb over larger rocks with certainty.

My fear is ground clearance. I was looking to lift the Jeep 2-3 inches. Is this enough? Tough question I know. I am not sure how folks rate the roads, but I am thinking Jeep trails rated at 3-4 are what I am going to be most interested in. I am thinking the road in Arches must be rated at a 2.

I know nothing about lift kits and improved suspensions.

If you have a link that will explain or contain lots of information comparing them, please post it.

I was looking at Procomp with a 2.5 inch coil replacement lift kit with Rancho shocks. The total cost is around 7-800 bucks if I install it, and more if I have to pay.

I like this price, however, is it doing me any good for off road? How will it change my gas mileage on road? I am running 31" tires and plan to increase to 33 inch in the future. However, I will still be runnig stock suspension with a 2.5 inch lift and replacement shocks; if I use t his kit. Is it worth my money or should I wait until I know more about Jeeps and lifts?

Thanks,
John
