Lift help- lets talk whats needed and $$
Hey guys,
So over the past few weeks I've been deciding on two paths:
1) a 2.5 inch Aev coil lift when it comes out. To keep my 32s and when they wear out to put a 1 inch body lift with 35s and flat flares.
OR
2) wait until summer when I have more cash and get the 3.5 Aev lift with 35s.
My question for you all is if I go with the 2.5 I will obviously need less work done but is t practical to just slap on a 1 inch body and throw on 35s after? Pictures? And what would Somethig like this cost me? I would be buying the lift and having a shop install it. I'm in Ontario Canada and I'd probably have just jeeps install it
Now...if I go with the 3.5" it's really my dream. What would I be looking at for what other mods I would need to get? How much would I be looking at for this? And by this I dont mean the difference between paying for a
2.5" lift and a 3.5" lift but the difference for labour and other mods that would HAVE to come when going with 3.5 and 35s.
And one more question... If I go with 3.5" and 35s is regearing really a necessity? Does it actually make a difference? I hear so many mixed messages about this.
I should say I don't care about power all that much. I bought a jeep not a dodge ram hemi and I'm cool with that. This would be a daily driver but I don't drive highway much and I do trail ride.
So...what you guys think?

I should mention I'm driving an 09 jku X manual transmission.
I had that lovely stock death wobble and it really messed with my front trac bar. Wasn't impressed with that curve on the track bar either so I made the decision of swapping it with a terflex monster adjustable track bar. So already have this mod
