Default Teraflex 3" or 4" lift w/ 1" body lift

Hey guys, I have a 4 door Rubicon on 35" tires on a 1" body lift. I had a 2.5 suspension lift but, I sold it. Im thinking of going higher. Should i go with a 3" teraflex lift or a 4" teraflex lift with a 1" body lift. Im leaning more towards the 3" lift cus of price and no driveshaft modifications. What would you guys do? THX in advance.

I went with the Rock Krawler 3.5 and it was this or the Rubicon 3.5. They both were upgradeable to long arm kits and they give plenty of flex and room for the 35's. You dont need the body lift.

Thanks for the picture mkjeep but, looking at it. I think a 4" with 1" body lift will make my tires look small. Big help THK.

Most definately, a 3in is all you need really.

A good question is why did you sell the 2.5 inch lift?

I was told that a teraflex lift is a more durable and comfortable ride and it lifts your jeep higher than the lift specifies. I did not listen to the cautions from this forum in reinforcing my axle bracket when I had my skyjacker lift on . It cracked on me to the point that it almost broke off. I figured since I dont offroad much I dont need to reinforce it. I was wrong. I was also told that the teraflex lift has a better relocation bracket for your track bar. My wife did not feel safe, so we sold it. As long as she agreed in the jeep becoming safer and higher.
