Pretty hard to beat the Teraflex stuff for what you get. A 2 1/2" (actually over 3") lift from them is under $600 and it will allow you to run 35's

IMO, the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift is a great choice given your requirements. It's owners seem to be very happy with the product and from first hand experience I know that TF has great customer service and they stand behind their products.

In addition the 2.5" of lift will reduce the number of additional modifications required.

Another good and popular choice is the OME kit.

i've been happy with my RC 2.5" lift. The progressive rate springs didn't work out but they don't use them any more and their CS was very good about replacing them. No troubles off-road.

Can't go wrong with the Teraflex lifts they are well made, customer service is pretty good from what I've heard and the installs are usually pretty straightforward...another kit to look at is the 3" Black Diamond Lift, we ran it for over a year and loved it...never a death wobble issue and it came with things that are options on other kits. Either way you can't go wrong and will be close to your budget. Good luck!

Default Lift for under $600

I have had the Rubicon Express on my 2001 and my 2008 Unlimited Rubicon, with new shocks and very happy.
