2011 Unlimited Rubicon, I want to lift it (suspension). Without picking favorite brands, who makes the most durable, bolt on suspension lift? I would like to stay away from my electronic sway bar disconnects and pitman arm.

How big you looking to go? How much you looking to spend?

That question is way too open. There are many options out there with quality construction, and without knowing any specifics at all, it would be rather difficult to point you at any particular brand or height or components.

U dont have to install the pitman arm that come with a lift kit as long as u dont install the trackbar relocation bracket in front.

for minimal lift, id recomend a 2.5 inch teraflex or 2.5 inch rough country, just remember 3+ inches of lift require new drive shafts and a whole lot of other stuff. if you want a bigger lift, get the 2.5 inch plus a 1.25 inch body lift from rough country

Without starting a full blown wild fire I am running the Fabtech kit and the only other JK's I've seen run Fabtech have been the Fabtech JK and Mastercraft's JK. I have had a weekend of high speed runs and did TDS for some slower stuff and I really enjoy it thus far. Installed it myself, took a couple days of having the jeep in parts (first suspension I've done) but wasn't too difficult with an extra set of hands. And so far its holding up pretty good, finished installing it 2 AM Xmas morning.
