I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited, and after I hit 36K miles (end of warranty), I want to put a 6 inch lift kit on it. I know there are different ways to split this lift up. What's the best way? And how much should I plan on paying?

your pretty much lookin at like 2-high 3 grand for the lift itself depending on which long arm system you go with, about almost 4 hundred for the driveshaft, you still need a slip yoke eliminator kit for your transfercase even though itll just be a plate that accepts cv joint driveshafts, rims and tires because usually the stock rims wont work with the larger tires, and depending on the company youll probably have to buy shocks. what i would do is shop around you can go to 4wd.com, quadratec.com, 4wheelparts.com. i would reccomend getting catalogs from them because its usually easier to find the stuff and a bit easier to build a price. but the best way is to just buy the complete lift and not pieces because usually manufacturers will sell the parts for more by themselves then in the kit. but make sure you do a lot of research on it before you buy anything because you may be getting a lame lift kit that will die after a couple years.

Rubicon Express 5.5" is one of the better ones.. going w/ the long arm lift is a bit pricey.. those run around $2500 before install.. here is a cheaper suggestion to get 6".. 4" short arm suspension lift and a 2" body.. that can be done around $800 dollars.. i'm runnin' 35's under my 2004 rubicon.. i get full flex w/out rubbing.. then there's other things to buy also.. new rims for bigger tires.. a guy earlier mentioned a new dirveshaft, only on the long arm lift will you need to start buying stuff like that.. if you want any other help, feel free to YM me.. what you want to do is going to be expensive.. hope i was able to help..

Try Rough Country. My finance has a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport. He put a 4-inch suspension life (and believe me, that's enough), 1-inch body lift (which is cheaper than getting more suspension lift), and gained an extra 3 inches in bigger tires (5 Mickey Thompson MTZ's.) So needless to say, I bought him step bars for christmas, so that I could get in and out. And most places charge about a $100 per inch if you need someone to put it on for you. And you probably need to get your tires realigned. Even though my finance had a friend of the owner's son discount, he got it all for $1500 (including the installation)

It relies upon on: the position you stay What suspension raise you purchase Hourly cost of keep in case you also get an alignment An XJ raise takes below 6 hours to position in, so below $600

You're looking at anywhere between $600- $6,000 depending on what you want. Skyjacker is the best, but they are pricey. However they do have a new line for the Unlimited, so they are worth looking at:
