Default Teraflex, zone or rustys or rock krawler

Hey all. I'm getting ready to order a lift but need some help deciding. I have a 2011 jk 4 door stock with 35s. I'm looking at 400-600 for a lift. It's a dd and I don't want to have to change driveshafts or control arms right now. I'd like between 2.5 and 3.5 coil lift, not spacers. Zone has a 3 inch lift with shocks for 435 shipped, rustys has a 3.25 with shocks and new front and rear trackbars, or teraflexs 2.5 with shock adapters, or rock krawlers 2.5 stock mod. Please help lol. Any pros or cons would be great. I want something that I can put on safety and not HAVE to get other stuff right away. Thanks for the help guys

I don't have any of those lifts but i have heard great things about tera and rock krawler. I would go with one of the two before rusty or zone. I am Not saying zone or rusty are bad lifts. Most bb or coil lifts are the same

Usually you see Teraflex and RK mentioned in the same comparison. But that is the first time I've ever seen Rusty's and Zone thrown in the same mix.

You are comparing apples to sticks.

I have a TF leveling kit and just received my 2.5" coil lift from Dave at Northridge. So I guess you can tell where I'm going with a choice

Just to let you know. I have about 150lbs worth of steel up front and had to email TF to see how to go about keeping my Jeep level. Looks like the coils are rated at 170lbs and will add a 3" lift in front (stock bumper) and 2.2" in the rear (stock bumper) but with my weight Doug informed me to keep a 1" puck up front because with that much weight the front would sag about 1/2".

Just some other food for thought so you can have more info for whatever brand you get and if you were thinking about having your Jeep level.

I have RUSTYS 2" COILS and purchased JKS track bars later on . I have had them for more than 3 years (30,000 miles) and am very satisfied. I have a 2 door and got just under 3" of lift. 35" tires, and had no drive shaft issues. Also purchased brand new SKYJACKER shocks from forum member because of the lift, and the price .

I run the Rusty's 3.25" lift, and for the money it is a great product that performs well
