Cheap Daily Driver Lift Kit
What brand would you guys recommend as a daily driver lift kit, I'm looking to have about 3.5-4.5 in of lift.
I would like to have it drive as close to stock as possible.
I don't think I need tons of "flex", but correct me if i'm wrong.
Lastly, is there any place where I can buy all of these together online? Like a package.
and have them install it all? (I am not mechanically smart)
I am looking to spend under $1,250+plus installation, but probably will have to go over.
Thanks!

Rough Country lift's ride great. i strongly suggest doing full packs though, the AAL's are softer at first but they will sag and the full packs will soften up after a little while.

Alright, thanks for the input, should I buy online or is there anywhere in South Florida that sells this stuff, and a place that might be able to install it.

Here is my .02 worth.
I have not heard good things about RC
Rubicon Express is really good. 3.5" lift with full packs but it is $$
I am picking up a Zone Offroad 3" kit which comes with shocks, springs,AAL, and U-bolts. TC drop for another $33. I am going this rout because I don't want to spend a ton of cash on a lift for a DD that doesn't get offroaded too much.

I'd go with an OME 2" kit with packs and coils. That will give you a better than stock ride and room for a little bigger tire.
Sounds like that's all you want anyways.
