6 inch Long Arm Questions

I guess this can be my welcome thread too as this is my first post. As you can guess by my name I come from the land of Vws ( i own 5 of them and now a jeep)

Now before i have to put my flame suit on please know i am not new to forums in any way and that i have searched around and know a bit of info and am still left with some questions.

I have looked around on here and other forums and have talked to other local jeep owners.

i just bought a 2006 Rubicon w/ 6speed manual 16k miles and is completely unmolested.

I think i am set on 6 inch long arm with ~35s (Firestone m/t's 315/75-16).
i have been looking at a fabtech but was recomended that i look at procomp as i can get more travel out of the rear and comes with things necessary to have a small belly tuck. I have searched on here and all i see is to stay away from procomp.

So i guess what im lookin for is what all should i be looking at when looking at my different lifts. trying to keep it under 3500 so that means no coil over systems. trying to keep the whole build under 12k. no need to tell me to get one thing before another cuz ill buy it all at the same time as the 12k is sitting in a very liquid account.

seems like a lot i just feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment and want to make sure i have done my homework first.


I expect this jeep to see roughly 5k or less street miles a year so it will sit in the garage when not using it.

Thanks,
Nick

If you're set on that size lift, the 5.5" Clayton should be seriously considered.
