Opinions? And I could if sworn they made a bigger lift then 2". My goal is to turn my jeep into a safari rig

 

They came out with a 4'' lift not to long ago. Should be on ARB USA.

 

OME has like 16 or 18 different coil numbers for the JK. Some sites will list them as light/medium/heavy, '+40' was the original designation for the 4" coils, some will also list them for a specific JK model (2dr/4dr/diesel), and then you factor in how much extra weight you have, or how much lift you want to achieve. Clear as mud, huh.

So figure that for a given JK model, a 'light' coil, a 'medium' coil, and a 'heavy' coil will get progressively stiffer to handle weight better, and also give taller lift heights. (even though they may all be listed as 2"...)

 

Now if I go with a 4" do I need to change anything else like drive shafts or brake lines or anything like that?

That's the one I'm looking at. Is that like a plug and play? Like put it on and I'm good. Or do I need to do other things?

 

At 4" of lift you will most likely need to do a draglink flip with an adjustable front track bar and raised track bar mount.

You'll also want to do extended brake lines.

And you may also need a new front skinnier DS

 

Maybe I'll just do the 2.5" because my goal is to run 35's and turn my jeep into a safari rig so I can just go out on trails to my middle of nowhere and not have to worry about anything

 

The two threads stickied at the top of this modified area have some good information, including some recommended components for various lift heights.

For that specific kit: do a quick search on Cam Bolts. And as noted above, do more searching on the steering correction options (drag link flip / drop pitman), and the options for if (when) you lose a driveshaft.

 

Unless you have a very heavy jeep I would recommend the 2" no load coils, not sure on the part number but it will gain you a little more then 2". Many people make the mistake and buy the hd coils and end up with 3"+ of lift and that typically causes other problems that need to be addressed.

 

But I plan on outting a bumper and winch and rear bumper with tire carrier and jerry cans and all that on my rig. Still go with the light load?

 

I had no load coils. Sat with a rake after a winch and stubby, swapping out for medium load
