Lift Kit Recommendations?

3/4" spring spacer, a 1" body lift, and some 32 x 11.50's.

Stay away from lifting the suspension. It will just cause you grief with the driveline. For what you want, what I listed will more then do the trick. You get the lifted look with a bigger tire, but you wont have any of the drawbacks of modified suspension.

I'm with the OME crowd.  Depending on how old your jeep is perhaps it's getting close to time to change out the shocks anyways.  Go for ride quality as well as looks.

Do this!

The ride is similar to sotck plus you gain better parts. It's a tad pricey but I've never come across a person that hated lifting their TJ after putting this kit on. Not everyone needs a Jeep to take on the trails but just wants more of a " non-stock look"

Check out more reviews online of the Old Man Emu suspension for a TJ.

Good luck with what ever route you choose.

Thanks man!

If you don't wheel, then why lift it?

i would lift it and put bigger tires on it. Stock just looks too stock.
Even 31's look stock. i would at least go 33.

if you dont plan on wheeling it and just want a different look, get some fancy rims and put 31" A/T tires on it, im pretty certain 31's will fit with the proper rim with no lift. they may rub a little. if you dont care then great, if you dont want any rubbing then a 2" spacer will work fine. a good quality coil lift is what most will recommend but if its just a looks thing and not the performance thing then spacers would do the trick. keeping it closer to stock height avoids the stering issues and driveline vibration issues.

now samm, i have a question that i've always wanted to ask. and im not being a dick when i ask this. but why own and drive a jeep if you dont plan on fourwheeling?
personally i love jeeps, they wheel awesome and i drive the crap out of mine. but as an every day driver i can think of many other vehicles that are way more fun on the street.

My first jeep i bought only because the top came down, doors could be removed and the windshield lowered. That was just too cool over any other vehicle i could have bought.

I'm lifted 3 inches with a Rough Country kit. I use mine as an urban assault vehicle and take it off-road every so often. When you are up that high sitting on 12 inch wide 33's, I still think it's pretty cool, along with most of the passer-byes. Sure the fuel economy sucks and it's a handful in a stiff cross wind....but it sure is fun!
In the snow it's a total hoot.

I've got the OME lift and love it
