Default suspension lift capabilities / limitations

I am getting ready to lift my new 2012 Unlimited Rubicon and need a few things cleared up from somebody not trying to sell the lift.

I am think of going with a 3"-4" lift for 35's.


They recommend the AEV 3.5 " for mostly street use.

A Teraflex lift for more offroad use.

Like most Jeeps I think it will be used 70% on street and 30% offroad.

I also like the Full Traction line of lifts.

My questions are:

How much does the AEV give up off road? Is it noticable?

Dose the Teraflex or FullTraction have less than stock road manners?


Thanks,

CP

I have been running a 2.5" Teraflex spring w/ shocks lift and 35s for a couple of months and have noticed absolutely no decline in on-road manners. The wider stance has even cancelled out any negatives from the higher center of gravity. Feels just like it did when running stock - I'm just sitting a little higher now.

I run full traction in 3 jeeps. Ride better than any stock jeep and the shit is indestructible
