like the title says I'd like to keep my lift kit under $1000. I want to get to 35s, and the jeep is my daily driver. so ride quality is important to me.

what kit do I go with?

 

There are several coil lifts out there under your budget especially if you can install yourself....I highly recommend you do. Jeeps are very easy to work on. Teraflex, Rock Krawler to name a few.

 

All depends on what kind of wheeling you do. I see mostly sand and have added heavy bumpers and skid so I went with AEV's 2.5 with their drop brackets. Teraflex is a good over all lift. Rock krawler is good if you need a lift to flex a lot.

 

when i get my grand saved for a lift i'm going with aev 2.5"
mine's a dd and i think that from all that i've read aev is the way to go.

 

Well, to continue with the OP's question, What about Old Man EMU lifts? I bring them up because I have read many times that they are one of the most comfortable rides on the highway (i.e. Daily Driver). I don't have one and wonder the same thing as the OP.

 

There was a deal going on by someone in the vendor section that was a 2.5" teraflex kit + Bilstien 5100 shocks for $730...not sure if its going on, but would be worth checking out

 

i sent you a PM

 

AEV 2.5" with geometry correction brackets, sounds like the right fit for you

 

I would definitely try and find a deal on the teraflex and bilsteins I bought mine at full price and it was still under a grand and I love it for a DD

 

what tires did you put on it? did you drive with it lifted without larger tires at all?
