Default Lift decisions for the layman?

I've been doing a good amount of research for about the last two months and can't for the life of me decide on a lift. Here's what I've got/want.

2010 Sahara Unlimited 6spd
want: 17x8.5 ATX Predator wheels
~35" Duratracs

I'm looking for a 2"-3.5" lift. I'm about 80/20 DD/offroad and have a budget of about 1000-1500 for the lift. Nothing to extreme, but still capable. I've been looking at the AEV 3.5" Premium but the talk about cam bolts and having to drill new holes turns me away.

I'm stuck. ..any suggestions?

Will do. They were on my short list too. Is that kit "all inclusive" or are there other components I need to get with it?

TeraFlex has several different 2.5" and 3" kits. Download the 2009 catalog from my sig line below. It will show all the different kits. If you have any questions about our kits, please give me a call.

Check out Northridge's OME LT package. It's $1499 and pretty complete! It will give you about 3" to 3 1/2" I think. This is what I'll be going with shortly. Give Dave at Northridge a call....he can hook you up with both the OME and TF lift packages. He just talked me through it yesterday.

I have had my TF lift for about a month now and love it! It is my DD but I have had it off road twice now and it has performed very well with no rubbing on the 35" GY MT/R's. I wanted an "A" grade lift without breaking the bank. Here is what I have...
  • TeraFlex 3" w/9550 Shocks
  • TeraFlex Font Lower Control Arms
  • TeraFlex Adj. Front Trackbar
  • TeraFlex Steering Stabilizer
