Ive had my jeep for a few months it a 2011 wrangler. Ive already put 31x10.50R16 on it but now im wanting to go with a lift ive read a few threads on here.
What do i need to know about the lift and to expect. I plan on getting 33s or 35s next i dont go offroading alot maybe 2 or 3 time a month but its nothing rough. Here is two kits ive been looking at. All opinions needed

Do some reading and learn what the various components do before you start picking out a lift.

I've got the 3" TeraFlex lift and I have to say I've been very impressed with the quality of their products and the ride quality of the lift. I know the 3" lift isn't one of the lifts you mentioned above, but wanted to share my thoughts on the quality of TF's products. Don't think you can go wrong with TF

 

I'll echo that sentiment. I have a 2011 Unlimited Rubicon which for me represented a substantial investment, so I didn't want to do anything to it that I would regret later. After many hours lurking and searching this sight I settled on the teraflex 2.5" coil lift with shock extensions. There were cheaper lifts and taller lifts for the price, but I have absolutely no regrets.

 

i think im going with the 2.5 teraflex with shocks. From what ive read i dont need a front end alignment is this true. Sorry for all the questions after you posted the links to read. All i have ever done is race cars and the jeep thing is a hole new world to me.

 

I also went with the TF 2.5 coil lift. It comes with what you need and you can buy it with or without shocks.

 

Why would you need an alignment?

Solid axle, so Camber is not adjustable.
No Adj Arms in that kit, so Caster is not adjustable.
No Adj Trackbars in that kit, so no axle centering.

All you can do is re-center the steering wheel, which takes a wrench and 5 minutes, and set the Toe-In, which more than likely is not even needed.

Open the link in my last post and center the wheel yourself...

 

Good solid choice... I have the same TF 2.5 coil lift as well,
No Complaints here...
