Sorry!...lift kit questions...again!

[65reissue]

Sorry guys but I have searched and searched for pictures or some information to help me make a decision on a lift purchase. I am going to go with a 2.5" lift...I've looked at Rough Country...Pro Comp...BDS...Rancho...etc. I know the reviews from people are all over the place. Rancho and BDS are really more than what I want to pay. Keeping in mind that mine will only be used on highway and dirtroad...no wheelin' probably at all. So...the bad reviews on the Rough Country and BDS...do you guys feel that those are from people that are actually putting these springs to the test? Articulation...etc? Do they really settle and sag if just used for normal daily driving? Also trying to find pictures of these lifts with 33" tires...it seems almost consistent that the Pro Comp and Rancho lifts look considerably higher than the Rough Country and BDS. Is there anything to that? Is some company's 2.5" lift actually higher than another's? If any of you guys have pictures of these lifts with 33" tires...it would be appreciated. Again...sorry for the question...just trying to make a purchase and having a lot of difficulty. thanks as always...

Thanks...I appreciate the info. Thats me...I know from reading that Rubicon Express...OME...etc are the best. But mine will be more on the highway...just looking for a good lift to fit 33"s on without it looking like I've just crammed them up under it. If anyone has pictures of their Rough Country 2.5"...Pro Comp 2.5"...or something equivalent in that range that I'm not aware of...would love to see their set up with 33" tires. I appreciate any help. thanks.

My 76 CJ5 has a ProComp 4in lift with a 1in shackle lift and does great off road but rides rough and dont handle that good on hiway.
