I want to lift my 2003 Wrangler this spring and I need some opinions.  I am looking at the Teraflex 4" and the Black Diamond 3".  I don't plan on going off road, I just drive mostly around town with the top and doors off during the summer so looks and ride are the only things I really care about.  I plan on putting 33" Goodyear Wrangler MTRs on with 15" Motometal M950 wheels.  Which lift should I go with and what other things will I need to make it all work right.  My husband and I plan on doing it ourselves, he is mechanically inclined so it shouldn't be a problem.  Any opinions will be appreciated!!

Im running a Rubicon Express 3.5 superflex and it rides and wheels way better then stock.  plenty of room for 33s too. I also installed this kit myself in the garage

OME if the ride is the major concern, and the mtr's....well they are noise makers, good tires, just loud, maybe consider bfg all terrain (KO) tires for a mall-crawler,

no offence rawkon, i believe the re is an excellent choice also, most lifts do ride better because the front end no longer constantly hits the bumpstops.

my old budget boost ride was the same or worse.  

Ive been in a OME setup jeep and it didnt ride better or worse then my re setup.   the other problem with OME is finding the right setup and company who sells the kits for under a million dollars.

your right there....e-bay, craigslist.org....I had a OME I thought it was great, though it may have had more to do with the shocks.
