i am having a heated debate with my self one which one to get i want a lift that is noticable but yet Cant gonna break my bank or really will mpg any suggestions

Yes a 3" lift will make a diffrence,a 3" diffrence.

The lift itself doesn't affect gas mileage, the tires the larger tires that accompany the lift do. Rough Country makes a cheaper 3" lift that many people have had great sucess with.

Gee oh Dee

I think I told him the gas mileage thing already.

I like my BDS lift, its one of the best 3" lifts available.

krawlthis

here is your 3" difference.

I ran a different 3" for awhile and it worked great. I got about 16-18 MPG, less if i took it out and beat on it every other day . You will love it as a DD/weekend wheeler

BDS=$$$$$
BDS provides great suspension systems... if you have alot of coin. If you plan to go higher get a cheaper kit that can be upgraded for less money. If you plan on staying at 3" get a nice lift like BDS, if not start simple.

Gee oh Dee

I guess to some 600$ is alot. But its really not.

You get what you pay for in most cases.

thanks for the advise guys an i think my problem is i want a 4.5 but i dont think i can afford it over all i really just want a awesome lookin jeep with out breaking my self but i do thank u for all the advise im just a newbie at this an aslo with 4.5 i know u may need a sye an possible gear up grade right

More than likely you will need a sye and the gears depend on what size tire you want to run.

brookhart63

BDS 3 inch AAL=577.72
Rough Country 3 inch AAL=345.95
Iron Rock Offroad 3" AAL=339.99
Rocky Road Outfitters 3" AAL=299.00
Rustys Offroad 3" AAL=265.00

More so than other kits. But yes you get what you pay for.

A 4.5 inch lift is alot more $ than you think. (ask me how i know). I needed a driveline mod at 3" and i did a dirtbound offroad HNT at 4.5. I used a stock front shaft that i beefed up with better U-joints for the rear. Im running 31" and i like it. I DD it every day and have no problems. (school is 45 minutes away)

Gee oh Dee

What does each of those kits come with?

jmm0122

You forgot one of the best companies, Rubicon Express. (now back in business)
And full packs on all of those kits bring the price up a bunch.

i was wanting 33s (hisnse the gas mpg) but will i need to gear up?
