Rc 3.25 has a GREAT PRICE... customer service seems great
but the kit doesnt seem very complete at all

the TF kit everyone on here loves it... kits complete but little pricey..

old man emu seems great... but kit isnt complete.


how do they all average out... 3.25 comes out to what 3.5inchs?

tf comes out to like 3.5inchs i belive
so does OLD MAN EMU

OME or TeraFlex But when you go higher with a 2 door you need to worry about a lot more things failing, and with your jeeps track record I'd do more research.
With your 2 door I'd look at getting 4dr rubi springs and shocks and you'll get another inch out of it, can't go wrong for $100. Mine has that set up and I'm about as high as I want to be with 33's.

driveshafts, break lines, need to track bars and control arms to keep your alignment correct, reinforce your axles for larger tires, gussets to reinforce your d30, regear for more power for 35's. Longer bump stops as to not pull or damage anything. Just keep in mind these things, some people install just the 2.5 teraflex and are perfectly happy, some get drive shaft problems or on the rare occasion snap a break line. Just do your research first before going all gun hoe and needing to spend a lot of $$ in the long run just to keep your jeep on the road. I think staying happy with 33's and my basic lift has saved me alot of money and compared to a lot of the local jeeps its still a monster.
