Well my plan was to build a 15 JK with the slabs and ORE coil overs I've wanted on my last two Jeeps. My problem is the industry that I've been in the last 19 years and have made quite a bit of money at is DEAD (Nothing like starting over at 40) and I am looking for a new career at this point, therefore I cant do another 20+k build. I was SERIOUSLY considering getting a 15 4runner trail and lifting it on 35's (6K and done), but I'm not a Toyota guy and the 4runner isn't the best looking vehicle around. My CPA has been telling me for years to lease to help me with my taxes (Outside of jeeps I've always leased and either sold the modified car or parted it out and sold).
Fast forward to today. I've got a dealer that will give me 4k off sticker on a Rubi X and let me finance 12.5 worth of parts into the lease (Hence why coil overs and slabs are out). I am looking for opinions on two lifts. The Teraflex 6" Long Arm or the Rock Krawler 5.5" Long Arm. I've seen the issue with the broken brackets with Teraflex, but it looks like they've re-designed it. I ran the RK 5.5 MID ARM (They only sell the long arm now at this height) on my 13 Rubicon and was overall happy with it (Ride could have been a little better but still a solid lift). I've always run bigger lifts on my rig (Personal preference) so a 4" lift will not work for me (Again, personal preference). Any suggestions between these two lifts, or maybe another bigger lift I am not seeing? My understanding is that RK developed new springs that may give a better ride. My build parts are below. I would love to hear suggestions other than running a smaller lift (My little mans complex wont allow it). I do wheel the moderate trails and have run 38's on my last 3 rigs, so that tire choice wont change. Any opinions would be appreciated.
The build-
Tera 6" Long Arm or RK 5.5" Long Arm)
20x10 Moto metal wheels
38x15.5x20 Nitto Mud Grapplers
JE Reel 1350 Drive shafts
King 2.5 Resi shocks
ORE Sliders
