Anyone know about a good lift kit?

I would think at 1.75", you would just put in spacers. Seems specific when there are a lot of 2" kits and 2.5" kits out there.
 
If you're only looking to gain under 2" of lift, your best option might be a spacer kit paired with some adjustable control arms and track bars depending on what you plan on doing with your Jeep!
 
I'd go with a 2" lift at that point. There are many good choices for 2" lifts that won't break the bank.

You could go with spacers, though I personally would be more inclined to go with a suspension lift from some place like AEV, Clayton, Rancho, OME, etc.

I put on Rough Country (2.5") and they seem pretty good. Enough that we put a set on my son's and a friends. Spacers are an easier way to get some lift but side with Chris....I would go for suspension lift vs. spacers

I did the Teraflex 1.5 spring leveling kit. Very happy with it. Well built quality stuff. 2" lift in the front and 1" in the rear.

I'm trying to do my homework on lifts and new wheels/tires right now. Most likely going with the kit you have. Are those Falken Wildpeak AT3's? If so, what size wheel and tire is it? Do you recommend them? Looks like a good size to go with that lift. I only want a small lift because I dont have any steep or rocky trails near me, only sandy/muddy trails and beaches and I don't want to have to modify the geometry and other stuff.

If you don't want to modify your geometry you shouldn't put a lift on.

Yes, they are the Wildpeak AT3W's. They are the 33" tall tire. I will get the size for you later today. I am VERY happy with this tire. Fantastic in every situation I've had them in. They great on wet asphalt, snow, dirt, and all the rock crawling I've done. The wheels are 17x9. I forget the offset/backspacing. I will look it up when I get home. The only problem I've had, and it's very minor, is the tires will rub the factory plastic fenders with the sway bars unhooked on obstwith max flex. I plan on different fenders in the near future so it doesn't concern me much. If you're not doing some good rock crawling, you probably won't experience any fender rubbing.

Thanks. I think what I was trying to say is that I don't want to do major fabrications to my Jeep. I thought the kits come with the necessary parts to make the geometry corrections like the sway bar links. I do want to level it and also have a small bit of lift. I guess I don't fully understand the lift kit vs leveling kit. Trying to educate myself so I know what to buy.

Tire size is 285/70/17. (33's)
I have the paperwork somewhere from the wheel purchase and I think the wheels are 4.5" Backspacing. Still trying to find the paperwork to confirm.

The Teraflex 1.5" leveling kit with the Springs is a lift kit and it comes with EVERYTHING you need. It raises the front 2" and the rear 1". I installed mine in my shop behind my house in about 3 hours with hand tools, jack and 4 large jackstands. Drives as good as it did from the factory and the ride is actually a little better than stock. I believe the spring rates are better than stock. ZERO geometry corrections needed.
