the best it the FRankenlift but it is expensive and it contains everything an OME lift is extremely good too but its not akit you would have to buy 4 coils and rear shocks and struts and it would cost about $650 shipped or a daystar spacer is $155 plus new rear shocks but not as good as a lift bc it is a spacer not a suspension like the other two

i guess i should have asked, what type of budget are you looking at? and do you plan on doing a lot of hard off-roading?

How much money are willing to spend?

Lifts for a KJ range from $200(spacer lift) all the way to $25,000(full on custom SFA swap lift).

Go with some OME HD coils F/R(front-927's,rear-948's) and add some Rancho 17505 front struts and Rancho 17004 rear shocks(made for a unlifted Durango),you will get about 2.5"-3" of lift for less then $700.You may want to consider JBA's aftermarket UCA's to make sure you get back into alignment,there $400.

that's a good start! just add the "for now" after everything you say here. For instance, "I don't need a lift,for now" or "Really, I am not planning to off-road, for now" or "I only have $1500 to spend, FOR NOW" Get the point? If you love your KJ like most of us here, money spent is better left uncounted.

Enjoy. :D

Well then you have came to the right place, step on up and let us show you the way to Jeep enlightenment, :wink:

But the lift for you from the sounds of it is the OME / Ranchos for sure nothing else can touch it, great ride and keeps going forever with no problems
