Re: Lift question
Rubicon 2.5" spring lift is your best bet. Total replacement of all springs,
good ride, decent off road. Probably won't need a slip-yoke kit.

Re: Lift question
If you like your ride, have your springs re-arced, or add a leaf if you
want to jump off higher cliffs. Just stay away from the temporary lift, and
de arc, longer shackles, as in: http://www.----------.com/93-YJ-2.jpg

My son used a Rubicon Express and love the ride and lift.
