2.5 seems to be common & safest now for choice FRANKEN LIFT from All J Products ( boulderbars.com ) or Rusty's offroad those are the 2 common around here

Frankenlift!!!

hehe can't say much yet.. I don't have any lift yet.. but that kit seems to be the best one so far.

From what I read, most popular, in order of the bestest, (he he):

Frankenlift
Rusty's Coil

(if going the spacer route)
Daystar Spacer

The 2 1/2" Frankinlift or the 2" OME lift seem to be popular choices. If you go to tall you risk damaging the CV axles.

rusty coil lift is a good kit especially for the price. It does sit a tad bit lower than fraken though.

man I got the Frankenlift a few months ago and I fall farther in love with my jeep everytime I go wheeling now. My gf thinks I love my KJ more than I love her. I tell her it's not true but I don't need to sleep in the KJ also.

Thanks alot guys

I hear so much about the frank lift and rusty's.
It is a toss up between the 2 lif kits. I am thinking about going for the 2.5 lift.
The more I read on this site the more I am starting to under stand about lifting. I know that I need to always inspect my rig after the lift.

I hope in a few weeks I will get the lift on the KJ and then can do some real wheeling with ya guys one day!!!!
