$600 for a lift which one?

I went with the Iron Rock 2" lift. My thought process; I liked the way it handled and rode currently. A spacer lift "should" leave the truck riding the same. Handling would primarily only be affected by the change in the center of gravity from raising it. A big concern for me was spending big money on a "high quality" lift and being really disappointed with how the truck rode or handled on the street. The Iron Rock lift would let me see how I would like my current truck lifted for not much money. Little things like getting in and out or how easy is it to reach things in the bed are a consideration. I did add the quick disconnect end links from Iron Rock as well. Upgraded shocks can be added later if I feel like I want or need them. Axle offset was minimal. I can add adjustable track bar(s) later if I want. I probably will just because I like to buy stuff and install it on my vehicles. lol.

So far I'm liking the lift. Some of my concerns about the change have been negated and I feel like I will not return to stock height. I went through the range of motion before installing the springs. With the stock Max Tow shocks I really should install a bump stop extension in the rear. If I don't end up replacing the shocks, I'll likely weld something up out of some 1" angle.

I had the AEV 2" kit on this 2021 Rubicon that had 37's on it. I also had the Rubicon Fox shocks. The ride was excellent. It rode better than my 2023 Sport S with Max Tow. My only complaint was the side to side rocking motion noticed most of road. On the 2023 I only have 315's so I am going with 1.5 spacers on front and .75 in rear. I like the handling of my current suspension and no side motion which I am sure was the Rubicon shocks.

I love that look..... what topper is that and did it cause a noticeable drop in the rear-end?

So I like the completeness of the AEV 2" spacer, however it reuses the junky stock shocks and non quick disconnecting sway bar links. I'm wondering if for the relative same price of the AEV kit, is there a similar complete kit of equal quality which uses better shocks or springs?

I'm on a '22 Sport with 34.5x10.5R17 doing 95% street usage and occasionally I want to be able to decently off road. I guess do I even need to lift it with those tires? How are the stock springs? What would you do in that budget? I don't want to compromise ride quality either. Ty!

It is an ARE topper 1" or less drop in rear

Awesome! That's the one I was looking at. I thought it would ruin my rake look.
