just got my 4dr rubicon ... ill be putting on 35's after deciding which lift to order, planning on getting a bumper and winch in the future. Its my DD and would do off roading on weekends ( No experience somehow). ANY comments on what lift to select . saw this at northridge website.

 

I debated this for quite awhile.... went back and forth and for th e money I went TF. It is a more complete kit. I am adding the fron trac bar, so everything under $750 to th edoor BUT OME is a great kit as well.... TF is on back order until late next month

 

wow... these are the same options I'm down to. I had talked myself into the Teraflex kit and then found it was on back-order. With some research I'm now leaning toward the OME kit. Partially because it's available, partly because it looks good.

I was concerned about the OME kit not including any sort of trackbar brace, but everything I've read says it's not a requirement. And I may eventually install the JKS front and rear adjustable trackbars.

And so... I'm still kind of stuck...

 

if you go OME I would get at least the front trac bar and a rear teraflex trac bracket. Also extended sway links and/or doscos.... the TF kit has all this (minus adj trac)

 

As my JK is a DD as well, (as least 50 miles everyday) my MAIN CONCERN is ride.....I MUST have the best ride possible. I could be wrong, but from all I've read, the TF gives the best.

 

I got the teraflex 3" and used the OME LT shocks with it. ride is nice. I think the Tera shocks would have rode great too though.

 

is the front trac bar a requirement? or am i ok with the whole kit that comes with it?

 

I'm with you. I was in the same predicament until just a couple days ago. I was stuck between the TF 2.5 BB and the TF 2.5 Coil Lift. I too read endlessly about the pros and cons of all the >3" kits on this awesome site. Mine is a DD also, and I'm going to be running the stock tires until they wear out, so I don't have a ton of interest in going huge...........yet...

I ended up going with the TF coil lift because from what I've heard the ride is excellent. Much better than the BB for sure. But, I got the kit without shocks and ordered some shock adapters from TF directly since I have a Rubi. I know the stock Rubi shocks are nitro and high quality and everyone says there is no sense in replacing them. The back order does suck though........I ordered literally the only one I could find in stock anywhere, and it was the base kit w/o shocks or adapters hence my ordering those bits direct from TF. Maybe I got the last one available!!

Good luck!

 

not it is not required.

 

Teraflex all the way. P.S. I have the BB and it rides just like factory..

plus it is a complete kit, and they are sponsors here and step up to every concern the consumer has.
