YES... another lift tread
I know where most of these threads end up, either Teraflex or Rock Krawler, and honestly I had my mind set on Rock Krawler. But after thinking about it, and the amount of wheeling and level of wheeling I do. ( Couple weekends a month at a medium level at best ) Do I really need a top of the line lift.
So my question is, what would you guys suggest as a mid pack, mid range priced, decent quality lift? I haven't decided on tire size or amount of lift, just trying to settle an a brand.

You can get a TF 2.5" w/ shocks for under $800 or w/ shock adapters for under $500 and a RK 2.5" w/out shocks for under $600 and easily run 35s, so I wouldn't be so quick to take those off the table. I think it's best to figure out what tire size you want to run first and of course, your budget, then you can start comparing companies.

I'm not saying this is right, but the way I'm thinking is, I can get a larger lift with more components for the same price as a Teraflex or Rock Krawler, smaller lift with just shocks, coils and change.

You get what you pay for. I bought a Rough country 3.25 lift and i hate it.. The ride quality is terriable on and offroad. There's way to much body roll, and only after a week of owning the lift, i've already found rust on the compoments... I will be dealing with Rock Krawler very soon.

If you plan on going over 3" be prepared to open up the wallet.

I appreciate the replies to the thread, but with that said, some people are missing the focus of it. I'm not sure what my final tire size will be, and I'm not sure how high I wanna go. I'm just pretty much asking, in other words, is there anyone out there running any lift besides Teraflex or Rock Krawler who is satisfied with the geometry, ride quality on and off road, and flex of the kit they got installed?
