Looking for recommendations on a 2.5" suspension lift for a 2001 Wrangler?
Good quality, resonably priced and something I could install.

Thanks in advance,
JPM

My personal Opinion:

Tried and True:$600 (you find used ones for around $200)

Old Man Emu (aka: OME). Been around forever and comes in three different flavors depending on how much equipment you have on your rig. Includes springs, shocks, transfer case lowering kit and track bar relocation bracket.

Best Value: $299
Rough Country, they recently came out with the kit last year and I've seen plenty of good reviews if you have a short wheelbase TJ. At first, LJ owner were experincing issues with shock length, which was resolved later on with shorter shocks. Includes springs, shocks, tranfer case lowering kit and track bar relocation bracket.

The Best: Around $1200 or less
Rancho 2.5 RockCrawler Lift. It has everything you need to do the perfect lift (except shocks). Includes items that most 2.5" lifts don't have, such as extended brake lines, extended bump stops, discos and control arms. Not to mention the springs are as long as a 4" lift springs when unsprung to give you that extra axle droop.  
2001 TJ Sport
- 4.0L I6
- Sport Wheels w/ 30 x 9.50
- Half Steel Doors
- Soft Top
