I just picked up the 2.5" Teraflex and will have it installed next week at High Country 4X4. I've heard that Teraflex makes some of the best lift kits, and the 2.5 is bolt on. Teraflex ONLY does Jeeps, no other vehicles. Our dealership offered 2 lift options, and those kits are from Teraflex. They put the Mopar name on them.

Out of the choices that you listed in your OP, and then what you said you're going to use it for, I'd definitely steer you to the Rock Krawler setup. I'd also send you toward Teraflex, if you haven't already looked at them. Both of those are going to definitely be good for what you're intending.

Thanks.

would also look at the aev/nth degree lift all great reviews on this lift, terreflex also had all good reviews, dont think you can go wrong with either lift.

clayton might be a good 1 has a lifetime warranty on it, but kind of pricyyyyy.
