what is the best lift kit (POLL)
I have been doing my research and searching the forum to find a lot of people posting
"what is the best lift kit, what lift kit you recommend."
so I didn't want to be the same but maybe by starting a poll this may help people decide on there lift kit. including myself.
so this is what we newbies need from you.
vote what you think is the best kit
or
the kit you run if that's the one you have
and post why you think so. why you choose or voted that brand over all others.
as stated by another member you need more specific application option. because it may confuse people rather then help. so here are the tirms.
- 4door JK
- 35-37 tires
- 2.5"-5" lift options
- use for about 70-80% street
- and 20-30% off road
-mix between rock, trail, mud, hills, sand evenly
GO!!!

You need to add more conditions. The 'best' lift for someone on a tight budget and who never goes offroad is likely going to be vastly different than the 'best' lift for someone who likes to play in the rocks and is trying to stuff 40's into his wheel wells. I think that your poll, as is, will get a ton of different replies that will confuse more than help...

sorry the poll max is 10. I could not add a few others on there. so I kind of crammed them in together at the end. no disrespect for the brands that didn't make it. im only judging by the over all popularity of what im seeing you all are running.

If you newbies would take some time, learn what each and every component of the suspension and steering does then the choice in buying a lift would be easy to do. This question is asked almost every day and there are write ups and stickies on just about every forum that will answer your questions. I did this write up on another forum to help people just like you get a little more educated before messing around with your suspension. My thoughts on lifts -A Must Read if your getting one

i would be about every other weekend or at the least once a month. go out with some friends and plan some rides on here in my area.
the rest of the time it will be a family car. DD to work and back.
personally im stuck between rock crawler and teraflex elite kit. im looking to go a 4" kit and plan to run 37" tires on 18 maybe 17" wheels
thats my plan. but i thought to see where this would go if i was to post up a Poll for all the top/popular brand lift kits and see what one is most prefered to the wheelers out there that have real life experience and not just trying to sell me on some crap at a local shop.
my next step is to call both of them and just chat to see what they say. rock krawler mentioned in another post that they are more then willing to answer questions about other peoples product as well as theres. i have been reading up on it and asking around to do my home work for a few days now.
lets put it this way. i dont even have my jeep yet. yes thats right. i want to learn as much as i can and do all my home work on what i want and build a TO GET LIST with prices and then i will have a goal made to what i need and how much i need to get there.
armor and body parts i pretty much have down to the make and model i want on each peace.
wheels are undecided but i do know what size i want to go with already. i started off thinking that 20"-22" wheels with 38 tires was what i wanted. doing my home work all that changed. now im thinking 17-18" on 37 nitto G or M. i know what i want learning from the people that know whats best from all you guys.
once i know which of the 2 lift kits i want i will move on to the right kind of axles and drive shafts i need.
once i get that i think i got my list the way i want it before i go out and get my jeep.
