How many inches do you want to raise it, what size tires do you want to fit and what is your budget?

Be very, very careful with "affordable" lift! I put a 3” lift kit on my 2003 Jeep Rubicon and used a Economy Lift Kit by Desert Rat in Phoenix AZ. I have spent a ton of money and an unbelievable amount of time straightening out the mess. My jeep went from a very capable stock rig to one that squeaked, rattled, groaned, and had death wobble at any speed from 45 to 65. Slowly but surely I am getting it all fixed, but it has been a real wake up call for me. I will NEVER have an economy lift kit on a jeep again.

To save 500 – 700 dollars I had an economy lift kit installed. So far I have spent over $500 in just parts and over 100 hours trying to get it all working. Never again!

I prchased a ProComp 2" spring lift for my TJ ($269 on sale). Install was pretty simple and the only items I added were cam bolts for the rear upper control arm (shaft alignment), and extended swaybar links. It rides well, gave me a little extra ground clearance, and most of all NO PROBLEMS!!!! Be careful with the real cheap kits, you may buy nothing more than a headache. Also, make sure you get an alignment ASAP after you install the lift kit. You will change your alignment when you add the lift.
