Default New jeep! Now to mod..

I just traded in my broke ass '07 rubicon for a new wrangler. The first thing I am planning on doing is the lift. Now I am trying to decide between a 3" or 4" lift. I've heard there is a lot more you need to add on for the 4" than the 3". on the rubi I just had a 3" with 37" tires (cut into the metal) so I don't know if there is a difference. Plus I don't want to have to deal with the chance of death wobble.. It got pretty bad on the rubi. Help??

Sky Jacker 4" lift
I'd go with 35's over 37's. Might come into voiding warranty though.

I'm thinking a 35" tire and I will probably go with the 3" lift and keep it a little lower to the ground.. Any suggestions on a good durable brand? I had teraflex on the rubicon and it ended up leaning to the passenger side a little

I am running the Rock Krawler 2.5 max travel with 35's and I believe you can run 37's if you get flat fenders. The lift is awesome and Rock Krawler's customer service has been great.

How long have you had that lift on? And how hard did you use it?

About 1 year. It's my DD. Don't use it hard.
