I have a 2008 JKU 4x2:(!!! I Known I know a 4x2😭. I bought it like that for a reason. As the title states, I'm thinking of going with a Budged friendly kit for right now. Main reason for this key word "temporary" lift is the suspension is pretty beat up and any little bump or pot hole I hit or go over the jeep feels like it's going to fall apart. It feels darn right scary at times...Future plans are to go with a LS conversion, atlas II, Evo DbD suspension with PR60s & PR80s riding on 40s. With that said I also hate the way my jeep looks right now so I've been thinking about going with a Zone 4" system and some Rugged Ridge wheels sporting other 35s or better yet some "37s" for now. By the way for now the jeep is a mall crawler lol and every now and then the beach. Your thoughts on this?

that's a lot of lift for 35's! if I were you I would just go with a budget boost 2.5" lift and trim your fenders to fit 35's.

IF it's temperary just toss on a EVO enforcer with MCE fenders and you can run what ever tires you want with a bit of trimming then resell it for most of what it cost when you buy what that beast deserves. double throw down lever system cough cough PR60 and PR80 cough cough

I'm not an engineer but 4" of lift on stock control arms seems like your geometry would be all messed up. A budget boost is what I would do since you just want to stuff 35s in there.

Just empty every pocket indeed lol. I thought I spent a lot of money on my cars until I bought this jeep. As for wheeling; fellas I would love too but I have what they call a unicorn jeep:(. So no four wheeling for this guy until I get my axles and what not.

6l80e, the Atlas ll 3:1 should arrive in about two weeks from my understanding. True it's pissing money away but hey isn't that what we are doing anyways...

Um, not if I can avoid it. I need to spend my money on things like maintenance/repairs/necessary replacements. To spend additional on something I KNOW I'm going to replace just isn't in the cards.

Maybe you have that kind of extra cash. I don't have an extra $1600++ to dump on pointless lift and wheels.

I'd throw as little at it as possible.
