Default 2.5 tf and 1.25 tf

I'm pretty much a newbie here and I want to lift my 2015 JK Sahara auto, and eventually add 35's. Currently, I'm running stock Sahara tires and rim, but will soon be making a trade to stock 2016 Rubicon tires and rims. I would really like a three inch lift, but don't want the mess up the geometry of the stock suspension since I'm on an extremely tight budget. So my question, is it a good idea and what all will I need (exhausts extension, spacers, transmission extension, ect.) to run a Teraflex 1.25 body lift in conjunction with a Teraflex 2.5 inch coil lift with shocks. Not sure if this is a good idea or not. This is my daily driver and will see 95% of time on the highway and 5% off-road. Any suggestions as greatly appreciated! Thanx!

I would check out Planman or PM him. He has been very helpful with me as well.

Many run 35's without a body lift. If you are on a budget you could get the 2.5 with shock extensions and use your shocks or get some slightly used Rubi's. If it were me I would skip the body lift and stick to the 2.5. Their 2.5 can yield up to 3.1"

Once again check out Planman!

Happy lifting!

I'm running a TF 2.5 coil lift with shocks and have no complaints. Ride is good for a DD and I think it looks perfect with my 35s.

I considered a body lift but it didn't seem worth the risk with my 6 speed.
