I have a 2021 JLUR on order. I'm having the dealer put on 35s right away. I'm trying to figure out what lift I'm going to put on. I live in the Midwest but like to take trips out west for photography and some wheeling. My Jeep is my road trip vehicle as well as my daily driver so I want something that rides well on the highway yet still be fully capable off road.
For shocks I will most likely be going with the Teraflex SP2 3.3 Fast Adjust. Many people rave about these shocks but some say they are way too stiff. Most say the SP2s are a big improvement over the original version. I have the original version of these on my JKU Sahara. Overall I've been very happy with them so I expect the SP2s should be no worse and hopefully much better as many have said.
The lift will most likely be the first thing I do to my Rubicon. Within about 18 months I'll be doing front and rear bumpers and a winch, but until then I'll just have the stock plastic bumpers.
I've narrowed my lift kit list to three choices and am looking for feedback. All three will exceed my needs off road. I'm really wondering how the three will compare on road when paired with the TF SP2 3.3 shocks.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!!

- MetalCloak Game Changer 2.5. I like the gold zinc finish; it should stand up very well to salty midwestern winter roads. This is probably the most capable off road and the ultimate flexor of the three. Price is very reasonable.
- Clayton Off Road 2.5 Overland+. Off road should be similar to the other two. Price is extremely reasonable.
- Teraflex RT2. Many people rave about the Alpine IR control arms. Will there be a synergy from matched coils and shocks from the same brand? Price is still within budget but considerably higher than the other two. This one should be more than I need off road, but considering the increased price will this kit be noticeably smoother on road?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!!
