Default WE GOT A 2013 Sport in TRUE BLUE!

WELP! WE ENDED UP WITH A 2013 SPORT IN TRUE BLUE!

I have sense decided to go with a 3.5" lift on 37's now with high fender flairs. As mentioned to you guys, might have read my other thread we are only looking to do some moderate wheelin and taking it to work about 2 days a week....nothing that requires the 14" kings and D60's.

What is the best 3.5" lift out there from 4wheelparts mind you because i have a family member to is a wholeseller for them. I want to spend about $1500 on the lift and get everything i possibly can that is quality. I was looking at the rubicon express lift and trying to get my own shocks on it.

Thanks in advance!

You should check out Rock Krawler, they will have something to suit your needs.

I did look at the rock krawler and saw that the forum had some pretty good things to say about them. But their only 3.5" lift is 3 GRAND! good lord!...

Any thoughts on the Rubicon express 3.5" lift?

I would stay away from rubicon express. I just took my 10 month old lift off and installed rock krawler. You get what you pay for!

I went with a 2.5" Rubicon Express with Bilstein 5100 shocks and the ride is just a bit stiffer in the rear than stock. It's my daily driver and weekend toy and I wouldn't hesitate to go RE again. With the set up I went with the jeep handles better over bumps and hugs corners better. Doesn't feel so loose and flighty when maneuvering through traffic or over off road obstacles.
