With 600$ the best you can get its a BB. Or check rough country they have lift kit under 600$. Or just wait to get more money and buy a kift kit with minimum front adj track bar, front lower or upper adj control arm, rear lower and rear track bar bracket. Good luck!

You could always start with the RK 2.5 Stock Mod kit and then build up from there. You would at least have the base system that you would keep while you build up your lift.

Just my

x2 on what John_Mora suggests "just wait to get more money and buy a kift kit with minimum front adj track bar, front lower or upper adj control arm, rear lower and rear track bar bracket"

you'll be glad you waited versus spending your money for something cheap and having issues you may not be able to afford...

$600 will get you a Teraflex 2.5 inch coil lift kit w/shocks, which will be better than your budget boost. If you want a good 3" lift youre going to have to save twice that.

What's wrong with the 3.5 kit from Rough Country?

h t t p://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_jk_3-seriesII.html

It's $500. Have its not a hardcore setup for serious off road use but there's lots of guys running Rough Country with no issues....

I like my 2.5" Teraflex. I will probably upgrade it eventually but it gets me up enough for 35's.

about 500 for TF 2.5 with extenders till you can afford shocks. I am not a fan of extenders on any shocks but Rubicon shocks. But its a good step to get a nice lift for a reasonable price.. I want to say my bilsteins with TF 2.5 coil were around 775 delivered. And remember if you want a higher lift on a 2 door just buy the 4dr kit for the same price..

I would stick with what you got. Perhaps get a body lift to fit bigger tires.

If you're set on coils, then perhaps a secondhand coil lift on here would work.
