Default lift questions

My jeep is more of a weekend wheeler, so its still a dd, and I'm stuck between brands, all being around 3 inches, I don't know if I should go with rustys, rubicon express, zone, pro comp, anyone else suggest any? Thanks

I'm partial to Rusty's because that's what I have. Second choice would be Rubicon Express, but they're not shipping any items right now.

rustys is a good bet. Look at rough country for about the same price as rustys.

Out of the other ones you listed? Pro comp is alright, they have a good name for themselves. But my fiance had a 2.5" lift of theirs on his TJ that didn't last very long before it started sagging and the rear shocks went.

You drive a Jeep not a caddy. Rough rides to be expected no?
Rough country all the way. Order from grimus on here and get a discount.

Well rough rides would be expected with any amount of lift or any brand. But it's better to have a decent 'rough' ride, than a terrible one

A lot of guys have gone with Zone too. Two of my buddies have used Zone and are stoked about the quality of gear and ride. I am buying a 3" Zone lift this month.

For 3" I would go with OME and 3" up I would go with RC. I am currently have RC 4.5" full leaf pack and I am happy with it.
