What is the best brand for a lift?
I'm getting a 2" lift and am wondering what brand you all recommend. I know they're all different so I'd love some input on everything!
I would be getting poly spacers, add-a-leaf, and shocks
thanks!

Brands are pretty equal Dollar for Dollar. In lifts you really do get what you pay for. At 2" any lift will work, but avoid those with blocks in the rear. If you what a GOOD 2" lift go with Old Man Emu. You want the BEST 2" lift go OME and add any brand adjustable control arms, Adjustable trackbar and swaybar disconnects.

I wouldn't say any one name brand is better than the other. What I would look for possibly. Is made in U.S.A. 2" is considered a budget lift by most advertisements I've seen. Not that I've ever done one. But it seems like they all consist of the same stuff. Add a leaf, Coil spacer and some shocks.
Not sure if there truly is a quality difference between any of that stuff.

If your only going up 2" you should just go to the JY and get coils and stock isolators out of a Grand Cherokee for the front and another pair of xj leafs for some bastard packs in the rear. This is what I did and it worked great. Google rock lizard budget lift.
