Search feature is your friend....theres even guides on using it in the stickied threads at the top of each forum. Read, search, read, search, read, search, read, search and read some more. Then, if you cant find what youre looking for, create a new post. All the searching and reading will help you post a very specific question that gets answered quickly instead of asking an extremly vague question that there is no "real" answer to.

In short, to answer your question(and stay on topic), there is no "best" lift kit. It depends on what you use the jeep for, what your goals are for building it, and how much you can afford. Theres a lift kit for every budget and every type of wheeling....



Two posts above yours, dont even have to navigate away from the page where you hit "new post" :

Clayton is good, and so is BDS

I Put a Clayton 4.5 Long Arm on my 99 Cherokee a couple of months ago. The best lift in terms of quality and craftmanship I've seen. Huge beefy welds. Everything is fits together like it should. It takes a little longer to install because you have to do some welding but its worth it. If your going that tall of a lift I would highly recommend frame stiffeners. They really improve the ride quality.

I went with Rubicon Express, and I am extremely happy with it. A year later and the kit is still perfect, no issues at all. And it only settled about a half inch. So I highly recommend it. I also went with OME shocks and an OME steering stabilizer, my rig rides better than stock.

Plus, if you are in an area where they use salt on the roads to clear winter snow and ice. The Rubicon Express kits hold up very well in these conditions, I have no rust on mine after a hard winter.

BDS was my second choice.

After checking out all systems everybody sugested ,only two kits are true 4 link set up. BDS & Northridge ,and of these two BDS is the only compete kit.

Then go with the BDS, you will not be disappointed.

I have been running the Rock Krawler 3 link for 4+ yrs on my rig.... no issues. I also ordered a cusotm kit for my truggy (sttretched it 4 "). The one thing I really like about the RK kits is the lower links are bent for more clearance. Also the links are Solid bar... far less likely to bend them as opposed to some hollow tube.


As for Clayton there kit is quality.. we had a guy in the club running his own version with square tube at Tellico. Well needless to say He bent both lowers into V's.. so His weekend was done, cause no one else had anything to trail fix it.

i agree totally. i ran the old style RK kit and that thing was a beast. took a beating like a champ. them control arms worked great as rock sliders. the only complaint i had with them was the steering setup dont go with that get something different than theres. but them control arms sure are heavy sum beechs but its down low where you want the weight.

Rock krawler is my top of the line choice. Budget longarm is IRO
