Default Thoughts on Skyjacker suspension lifts

Owner of a stock 2012 jk four door. This is my DD, and I am trying to decide what brand suspension lift, and how high. Any inputs on height and tire combo and any experience with Skyjacker lifts? I won't be doing any hard core rock crawling, just mild offroad.

On my DD, one blowed shock in one year...
And very stiff...

Now I got teraflex adjusted fox 2.0... I only regret that I spend money on the skyjacker...

I'd recommend spending a bit more, there is a reason why skyjacker is so cheap. Not a very smooth ride

I've got a 2.5" and I don't mind it, it's makes my Rubi even more capable off road. On road...if you have smooth roads no problem, if you have lots of bumps and potholes it could get interesting.

But overall no complaints other than Skyjacker says you don't need new swaybar end links...you'd probably want to get a pair anyway (put new ones in the rear & move rear stock ones to the front). I got new ones and haven't had time to install so my swaybar ends still aren't level.
