I live in Huntington Beach so I will not be running the Rubicon or going to Moab every other weekend. I want about 4 inches of lift for my 08 JK Unlimited. I want to run 35's. I want decent articulation because I do want to run down to Anzo or do the small trails around OC, SB, SD, Riverside areas. Any comments on lifts or gears? What can I do without new driveshafts? Just wanna hear some comments before I start spending cash. Thanks. My experience in Jeeping in the Southwest was with a 80 CJ7 and I cry everytime I think about the day I sold it. I should have stored it till I could afford an engine swap. It was not smog friendly for Kalifornia.

 

Teraflex 3" will give you 4"+ and you should be ok with stock shafts on an Unlimited.

Tons of us run the TF kit, come to the OC suds'ngrub on Wed. and check some out.

Her's mine with the 3" kit and 35's

 

Absolutely come to Fudrucker's Wednesday night and see for yourself.
As of right now we'll have about 20 jeeps there.

And welcome to the forum and the SoCal group!

 

Welcome bro, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a newbie and haven't decided on a lift yet either. I'll be heading out to suds on Wed to check out other rigs too.
