2x what chipmaker said, I just got the 2 1/2 in teraflex spring lift with extentions for the stock rubi shocks, spidertrax spacers for the wheels, adjustable front track bar and lower front adjustable control arms today. All going on tomorrow if it does not rain. Will have 35 in tires installed later.

Thanks guys. After the first few post and some more digging, the spring lift started looking better and better. Sounds like it's the way to go. Although, when i was showing the wife the kits, she asked me "i thought we were going to do a 4" lift". I was a little shocked to say the least. While i would love to do a 4", i just think the 2.5" with 35's will be plenty for us. But it was kinda cool to hear my wife ask why only a 2.5" and not a 4". Wish she would have said that when i lifted my F-250.

Women seem to always want more inches...

X2...do it once...and do it right if this is the height you're looking for. Rides great stance is perfect, great off-road.

Default Lift

I just finished installing the Teraflex 2.5 with coils, using my Rubi shocks and extensions, and I also put in a 2" spacer on the front coils. My front sits about 1-3/4" higher than the back, but my new Benchmark bumper and winch will settle it down to where I want it. I like the components on the Teraflex, but don't rely on their pathetic install instructions.

Split the difference and go with the 3 inch. That would be perfect for the 35s!

I have a 2 door soft top and put the 2.5 coil lift with new shocks. Awesome kit, easy install. I got an actual 3.5" of lift. 35s no problem. Still rides great. Here are some pics before the tires but after the lift.
