    I just bought a used JKU 2015 and want to put a suspension lift in my jeep,i don't want to go more than 2.5. Any suggestions on what would be a good suspension lift for under $900? It already has oversize tires on it. I don't want to go rock climbing,just off road exploring.

    Welcome to the site! OME (Old Man Emu), Terraflex are a couple of good brands. You could also consider spacers, and just replace the shocks if you want to save some money. Are you planning on installing it yourself?

    That sounds the cheaper way to go,will that give a stiff ride? And no i will not be doing it myself,found a real good place that deals with lifts in jeeps. My jeep rides real nice right now. Just don't want a stiff ride.

    I'm running the OME set up, and it rides as good as it did stock, but its softer off road.

    Welcome! Check out the a few venders like Quadratec, Northridge as an example to see what fits your budget. There are always sales or deals to consider.

    One of the best riding lifts I've installed is the Teraflex 2.5" with the Rancho control arm brackets. I installed it on one of our Jeeps and my best friend's.
    About $825 with the Rancho 5000XL shocks, $940 with the 9000 adjustable.

    Good luck!!

    Howell fuel injection, header, HEI distributor, TH350, NP208, SOA lift with YJ springs in the front & GW springs in the Rear. AMC20 with G2 1 piece chromos trussed, Dana 30 with G2 chromos and 760x ujoints and MM Stainless Hubs, Geared 4.56. Tom Woods shafts, Metal cloaks, Caged, 37" Toyo MTs.
    Too many options to list, but like others have already said Teraflex is my favorite with Metalcloak a close second. BDS is supposed to be good. The spacers work well too. I would spend the extra money on longer shocks as opposed to the spacer brackets that come in the lift. If you are going to wheel off road you will get better performance out of a true coil spring lift over a spacer lift. If it is just for looks the spacer will be fine and the ride quality won't change much with either if you go with a quality lift like those I and others have mentioned.
