Default Rubicon express or Rough country

I have a 08 jk four door getting ready for some lift and tires. Is anyone running the rubicon express super flex 4" or the rough country. Need some feedback this will be my daily driver and still want all the ESP to work.

Thanks

My .02, you get what you pay for. I run the TeraFlex 2.5 inch coil lift with 35" KM2s and I'm very happy with it.

Two completely different price range of lifts. I had an LJ with a RE 3.5 inch lift with no problems with it. In September I bought a 07 JK Rubin and put a RC 3.5 inch lift with fixed length lower CA's and their new shocks. For the price I couldn't be happier. No alignment issues and no ESP issues. I have no prob recommending the RC lift to anyone looking to spend less than $600 for a quality lift.

OK so you could get a 2.5" coil kit with shock adapters or the 2.5" BB kit with shock adapters or with shocks from TeraFlex. Or the #1155200 Leveling kit.

I'm running 35x12.50R18 Nitro Mud Grapplers on 18x9 Rockstars with 5 inches of backspacing on RC 3.5" lift.You need to first determine what type of lift you need for your use. You also need to determine if want the lift to be upgradable, and finally how much you want to spend. Once you answer those questions you'll be able to make the best decision for your needs. Below is a pic of my setup.
