im thinking between the TF 2.5" or the 3" its a $300 diff not a big deal but if i get the 3" would i "need" anything else like flex arms or whatever or can i just stick with the pakage (shock springs spacers etc.) because if i do ill just stick with the 2.5" because i have read that you dont need anything else.



ps. i will be running 35s with this lift and i do go off roading on weekends to some pretty serious trails. but it is also my daily driver.

 

Stick with the 2.5 for less $ and you'll be good for 35's
Tera 3in on a 4dr typically gives you 4in. in the front, with that amount of lift your gonna want at least front adj lowers and an adj trackbar in front.

 

I had a tera 3" and think it is a great kit. It is very complete. I got mine with front lowers and rear uppers then added the other arms later. After you see the arms you will want them. They are super nice. I see you have a unlimited so rear shaft is ok, if you have an auto you will want an aftermarket front but your stock one will work for a while. I would at least add lowers to the kit just because it is pretty tall and the increase in caster really makes it drive nice. I would use a tera adj. trackbar in the front and prolly just a tera bracket in the rear.

The kit comes with brake lines in the front, bump stops, rear brake extensions, rear coil retainers, etc, etc. It is very complete. The instructions are great too. Also teraflex has a rep on this site named Joe that is accessible and very helpful under the screen name teraflex. You can't go wrong with the kit.

 

ok thank you both of you i am very new at this so ill go with the 2.5" keep it simple thanks

 

I could have fit 37s under my jeep on that 3" mk is right about the height. the 2.5 will really give you 2" rear and 3" front. It is a great lift if you never want larger than 35s.

 

just saw a 2011 with the 2.5 and 35's...looked bad ass...

 

Not sure what all comes with the TF kit, but here's the FAQ answer:

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
A: At bare minimum, you should have a set of 3" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, rear brake line extension brackets, new longer rear sway bar links (factory links can be installed up front), adjustable front track bar and rear track bar relocation bracket. Optimally, I would recommend adjustable front upper and lower control arms as well as they will help you set your caster to the appropriate angle it needs to be. Also, if you have a 2-door, adjustable rear upper control arms and a new double cardin U-joint style drive shaft would be highly advisable.

 

Now, this is just a suggestion so bear with me, get the 2.5 kit. A few months down the road, get a front adj track bar, few more months, get some front adj, lower ca's, few months later get a rear adj trackbar, you see where I'm going with this? If after a year or so you decide to go higher, you can always sell the 2.5 springs and get some 3 or 4's and you'll be setup for adjusting your suspension already. What happens sometimes is that people get to high of a lift and are scrambling afterwards to get the other stuff they really needed to begin with and it may be a hardship financially. A 2.5 will get you rollin on 35's pretty cheaply and you can always add on as budget permits from there.

 

its not necessarily budget i could get the 3" with all arms and stuff but then no tires lol plus i was wanting to do it myself and less required things the less i can screw up but i do like your idea thanks so much for the input

 

This is exactly what I did with my TF 2.5, just progessively upgrade as $$ allows. I love my setup now with 35's and looking at some 37's after these die! Can't go wrong with TF.
