    I'm planning to do a lift on my 2011 but there is so much info it is overwhelming, I dont do much wheeling at all and this will be my daily driver so i am thinking around a 2 or 3 inch lift. I see that Rough Country has a pretty good deal on a 3 inch lift. The question I have is one of their lifts uses spacers at the top and for 200 more I can get lifted struts. Should I go with the lifted struts and call it a day?

    Unless you are a broke ass college kid like some of us then get new struts with new couls and an add a leaf for the rear. Stay away from Junkcountry lifts. Visit headstrong offroad, they will hook you up. Online or over the phone.

    My vote is to not lift it. How many miles are on it? Just be prepared to replace your front needle bearing after you lift it. I lifted my 2010 SWB 4x4 DCSB with an OME kit from headstrong. My rear leafs squeaked so bad and my needle bearing was shot. I decided to go back to stock. Thats just me tho. Good luck either way.

    All good points so maybe just a leveling kit wheels and a more aggressive tire and I think I may be happy.

    I went with aggressive tires also, so I got some good year wranglers from Walmart. I sold my old wheels and tires shortly after. Well about 1 1/2 years later the I got tired of the harsh ride esp being my daily. I went a found a set of Limited wheels with Michelin M2S's and its smooth as glass. I still have my all terrains tho in case I want to throw them back on. If you do get all terrains don't sell your nice smooth daily's.
