I love my Rubicon Express 3.5 inch lift. Rides slightly rougher than stock but I have a sahara. In comparison it rides about the same as a rubicon.

Skip the rough country if you want a decent ride. Budget lifts and great characteristics don't go hand in hand. You'll have to sacrifice somewhere.

Im not a promoter of rough country and ill always tell ppl to buy a better lift but have you personally ran rough country? Or just go buy what other tell you? I run the rough country 3.5 series 2 and have 26k on this lift with well over 1000 offroad with 0 issues and its not any rougher than tf equipped jeeps or any others ive been in. Stock is better of course but maybe thats partially the e rated tires I have. Only issue ive had is after bumper and winch install is sagged 3/4" but spacers fixed it

 

Not much out there is rougher than tf equipped jeeps. I to am speaking from experience. It's fine around town, crawling, and big bumps but for a washboard type road it will chatter your teeth out.

 

I just went with the RC 3.25" lift. Its cheep and seems to do the job. ride is rough but I just wanted something cheep to see if I really even like my jeep since I have never had one before. I had to buy the front adjustable relocation bracket so dont think you wont, its better to just get it right away. I also liked that I could just install it by myself and not need a shop. Saved me a lot of money . Seems to look nice with 35's right now as well.

 

what size are the rims
