Thanks gents!!!
If the OP wants to save a bit more I would wait until March 1st.

I can hold out till then. I would really like to get it level to start with, after that get bumpers and a winch, tires and wheels and then a true lift.
 
Considering this for the next few months and probably 3 trips down to Moab.

Well Rancho and others...this has me thinking and I would appreciate opinions. I plans to use EJS and the next few trips down there, along with talking with others in general about the "real" lift I decide on some point down the road. Maybe late this year, maybe sooner, maybe later.

This little sport lift has me thinking but only if it would make sense to improve my fun in the meantime. As I mentioned we will be down at EJS for about 9 days with friends and our first time there with a Jeep, a stock Rubi, as this is my first one. I am not really concerned with the aesthetics because I can live with it as it is looks wise till I lift it and get tires when the time comes. Will this Ranch Sport improve/expand the fun that can be had on the easier trails (FnT , Schaffer Trail, parts of HR) we will be running this year? It's not much obviously but even two inches, though not raising the axle clearance will improve angles a bit. For 400 bucks it is compelling to slap it on and get a little extra "room" down there for EJS and have some fun till the real lift comes?

Will it be noticeable?

Will it expand the capability enough to get a little extra fun out of it?

Like I said for 400 it seems like a no brainer, but I would pass if it serves nothing more than to change the look and remove the rake?

Opinions, options and advice very welcome!

Thanks guys!

Will it be noticeable? Yes you will notice it

Will it expand the capability enough to get a little extra fun out of it? Yes it will

Like I said for 400 it seems like a no brainer, but I would pass if it serves nothing more than to change the look and remove the rake? I am a buy once, cry once person. You should be able to sell it for about half though Did I say wait until March 1st? ;)

Thanks Rancho...

I think this may be the ticket to get me through summer and fall. My next door neighbor would love to have this when I am done with it in the fall. Nice to offset the cost of a bridge lift.

I get the sense that there is a subtle hint to wait another 3 weeks before I pick one up? I assume you will let us know the best channel to gram one come March 1?

I might keep the Jeep out in here in C till then and put it on here rather than taking it back to Utah and doing it there. My garage and driveway here are a little better this time of year in SF than SLC.

Thanks for the input.
 
i have the 2.5 metalcloak on my 2 door with OME shocks. the ride is pretty rough. not sure if it is the shocks or what.
 
See below March 1st is just a great day to save money.
:beer:
And thank you!

I have the 2.5 TeraFlex coil lift. Rides almost like factory, plenty of clearance for 35's and I am running the stock rubicon wheels with spacers and love it.IMG_0608.jpg
