I installed this lift on a 2012 JK. It gave me the height to clear 34’s but the handling characteristics were not to my liking. I moved on.

So I assume from these you guys would not recommend? And yes the cheaper price was an influence. I would like the evo 3” even the stage one. For now, but at $1700 for lift, it’s a little steep. I’ve had my jeep for 5 years now and finally paid it off, I would like to start doing things but don’t want to break the bank, what would you guys recommend for a lift that will not break the bank, but still quality?. Also any recommendations on an reputable install place around SLC?

Honestly, I would give Rancho a look. They make really nice kits right here in the USA and I think you'll find that they're priced affordably.
I do not have the tools or time to install one myself (only vehicle never installed one before) any trusting shops here you would go to?

Well that's a shame. Installing a lift is super easy and I have write-ups that would help you along. The cost of tools to do it would be less than paying someone to install it for you and you'd have tools you need after the fact. That being said, what part of Utah do you live in?

I have had pretty good luck with Terraflex in the past. Kinda depends in what you want to do with it. I had a 2.5 inch and had no issues on the road and it did pretty good beating around in the hills.

Oh yea mostly on road, but capable for light to med off-road if desired lol

I would go with Rancho as Eddie said. Also, I have tools and would be happy to help with an install. As long as you spend the time and help wrench, and bring whiskey. I'm in the Heber Valley.

Go Rancho!
West Jordan area....just south of salt lake. I agree that it’s a shame, I am just afraid I would miss something or break something, I am not very patient when it comes to putting things together...fixing things is a whole different story. I have gone back and forth about doing it my self for sometime...think it would be a fun challenge to do something major (in my opinion) I’ve never done before [emoji16]

What’s the link for the vendors on here, to buy from when ready?

You can buy a lot of the rancho parts thru amazon actually. Here is a link to all the rancho lifts we recommend.

Buying thru that thread also supports the forum
If you wanted to use one of our supporting vendors then exodus Jeeps is where I would go

They're pretty straight forward. Just go slow and you should be ok. I'd offer to help if I was not in So-Cal
Thanks for all of the input from you guys, I appreciate it. I think I will go with the Rancho, was thinking about the fox shocks to go with it but I see everyone on here saying the Rancho shock handle pretty good as well. Any preferences between the 2?

Highly recommend the Rancho 9000XLs. It's really nice to be able to dial in your ride and adjust for road and drive style conditions.
Also note, I think Rancho still has a rebate going...I know the flyer was posted up here someplace, but if you can't find it here, I'm sure it's on their website.

The Rancho 5000 shocks will be more than sufficient for the type of lift you want. Also, like Eddie said, install the lift yourself. You'll be surprised how easy it is to do.
