Im looking to buy a lift kit. Was thinking around 2 to 3 inches. I know to stay away from Add A Leafs. What brand is reccomended and this is also my daily driver. My front is sitting up nice and high but my rear of the jeep is sagging low, so does the 2 inch lift make a difference in apperence. Would it bring my sagging rear up and how much lift can i go before i have to start dropping things and replacing things.

Thanks, John.

As far as what brand depends on your budget! If you replace the rear springs with new ones even if they are only 2", you will see some differneces. They might not be what you really want though! Dont go above 3" as a common rule to avoid major driveline vibs and other problems. My 2 cents, go with a 3". Once you do your first lift, your happiness with that lift only last so long before you want a taller one. Trust me. I didnt think I would and now I do.

How small is small? All lifts can require the droping and replacing of things. Vibes are possible with any lift even stock height.

2" lift = how it should have come from factory. Looks good with 235 or 30" tires

3" lift = as much as you can do without replacing stock arms

4" or more big time, steering, suspension, driveline, and in most cases gearing will need to be addressed.
