alright so have a '03 kj looking to put on a sweet lift kit. On another website i see a kj called "swampthing" with a 5.5" lift on it. I think it would be sweet to get a 5" lift on mine sooooo i was just wondering if i should stick with my 2.5 lift or go to this because this one looks sweet its on car domain.com. hmm any suggestions and also how much would this cost and what parts etc would i need thanks guys! 
P.S- sorry this is so wordy |

P.S- sorry this is so wordy first off 2wd or 4wd? 2wd you can do 10" if you can get it aligned 4wd it is best to keep it ~3" or less to avoid CV issues also keep in mind that there is way more to lifting a Jeep or any thing for that matter then just the lift at some point you will have drive shaft issues the there is the limit on tire size that the front diff can handle ,seems to be about 32" max also at that size tire 3.73 gears will not cut it ,at least for me the list of things can get quite long if you have 2.5" then keep that and get some good tires and a locker out back and call it a day just my .02 |

its a 4 wheel drive and yeah i guess with a 2.5 lift my wallet will feel better and with some nice tires it'd look even better |

Plus swampthing is really no more after some problems he tore it back down to 2/3 inches of lift and called it good. Tons of posts tell you that without a properly setup lift it can be bad plus one that is setup the right way is big bucks so just how deep are your pockets |

Keeo it at 2.5- 3" and be happy, spend the rest of your $ on your drivetrain and tires. your KJ will love you for it. If you decide otherwise read all you can on this forum and you will learn what it takes to go past 3. Pros and cons. again the correct way will cost you about 20,000 grand give and take a few buck to do an SFA. Otherwise good luck! |
