I just bought a 2011 2 door sport 6 speed 3.73. Give me your opion of the best lift out there to run 35s I would love to run 37s but I don't no how much the d30 can handle and the jeep only has a 1000 miles on it so I don't want to destroy it just yet. This is my first jeep so any advice would be helpful.

 

Best for what? I know you say you want to run 35's, but where and how you plan on wheeling might have a lot to do with which lift would best suit your needs.

 

In my humble opinion the old man emu complete lift. It will drive better than stock. And you won't have to worry about buying and regularly greasing control arms driveshafts.

 

I don't do any rock crawling or anything I do a lot of trail riding in woods creek bottoms a lot of clay hills and some mud and logs hear and there also a lot of muddy hills.

 

I was actually looking at the ome lt kit with hd coils from north ridge it seem. Like a awesome kit would I need drive shafts right away with that lift

 

well geeze, if money were no factor, i'd say go all the way and get a long arm kit at the very least - coil overs would be a nice bonus too. even at 3" of lift, a long arm kit will restore your suspension geometry and make your 2-door ride and handling super nice.

this is a great kit but more because it comes with what you need for a nice ride and it's affordable. but, if money weren't an issue, i would still recommend a long arm kit like the kind that full-traction or teraflex makes.

 

The teraflex and full traction 3in long arm kits do look like great lifts but are they bolt on lifts I'm looking for something I can do myself. This will also be my first lift ive ever installed but if a long arm is not bad on install then I'm all for it. That's why I'm asking you guys

 

What about the Rock Krawler Pro Series Long-Arm setup? All aluminum, and I think that it's a bolt-on.

Well my budget is gonna be around $6500-7000 I don't really wanna spend $4000 just on a lift alone Haha

 

A long arm kit will be involved. You will have to cut off the old the mounts which is very time consuming. I will be picking my 4dr up tomorrow after having the Full Traction 3in Long Arm installed and needless to say, while I am mechanically inclined and I like working on my vehicles, I am glad I had someone else do this. Oh and if you go full traction and your Jeep was built after midyear 2010 you'll have to have the catalytic convertor adjusted on the downpipe to make it fit.
