What's yer budget? What size tires you want to run? What kind of four wheeling do you do?

If you're not going to wheel it, you can go with a Teraflex budget boost, otherwise you can't go wrong with a Teraflex or Rock Krawler coil lift. They are also upgradeable so you can add components to them later down the road.

lift is determined by tire size, everything else in the suspension will depend on the amount of lift you have and they type of use you plan for your jeep.

There is no answer for your question. All you are going to get is a bunch of hacks with bolt on stuff telling you what they have bought. Most of them don't know anything about suspensions or how the whole system works together with the steering or how to maximize articulation.

He does have a point, although I don't run what suggested. I've taken baby steps over the last two years and know that Our rig is doing well- we've upgrade not simply replaced.
