Hello all!
I ordered a JT Sport S Max Tow (hopefully delivered in July) and I'm looking for some advise on lifts.
I have read a lot of what people on here have said in previous posts and it seems to be a polarizing topic.
Let me start off with my current needs: I'm looking to off-road locally for now 1-2 time a month East Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas region. I also do a lot of landscape work and want to be able to use the bed to carry rocks or pull and small trailer with dirt or mulch.
I will run 35's for the foreseeable future. I don't want a leveling kit and want to keep a rake for towing.
I eventually want to invest in some overland gear and take trips to UT, CO and WA.
Here is my question. I am looking at lifts and there seem to be some strong opinions one way or the other. I looking for personal fist hand experience with lifts (past or present) good or bad.
I am considering the following lifts:
(skyjacker 3.5 suspension system) not the cheapest but seems to be pretty complete package.

(Rough Country Suspension Lift) This is the cheapest of the options... I know RC seems to come with a rap sheep but from what I have read they have made improvements in the past couple years and could be a good lift for a few years until I can want something more?

(Clayton Overland Suspension lift) Seems solid and well made. Most expensive and doesn't come with shocks... so not complete?

(Mopar 2" suspension lift) Biggest plus is that it is branded for Jeep/ warranty. Complete kit.

I would like a kit that comes mostly complete, self installed and preform well as a daily driver, towing and off road.
Am I completely off here or on the right track?
I appreciate all your help in advance!
