Default Pic Request: JKU with 2.5" and 3.5" RK lift or 35's

I've looked at countless threads and still can't decide which lift I want to go with, so I'm hoping some of you can post some pics to help me decide. As the title says, I'm trying to decide between the 2.5" or 3.5" Rock Krawler lift on my JKU running 35's (probably Toyo Open Country). I have a hard top and will be eventually running aftermarket bumpers, so that should bring the height down a little.
My JKU is my DD and will be used on the street 95% of the time and occasionally on the trail.
I'll admit that I'm leaning towards the 2.5" lift, but I'm not 100% sure. Help me decide so I can order the lift. We'll call it a Christmas present to myself.

If its not really going to be offroaded id say no doubt 2.5" I have the 3.5 on my 2 door and have debated many times going down to 2.3-3" lift height with my 35s. Id bet there 2.5 next about 3" to 3.5" on a 4 door.

I have 3.5 and plan on going down to 2.5 I have 37s too. Go with 2.5 it has lower center of gravity. The higher the lift the worse body roll around curves and higher the center of gravity

3.5 X-Factor with RRD Resi's I'm on 37's with trimmed fenders. Bumpers, winch, skids, sliders, hardtop and full doors. I'd say 2.5 is plenty of lift for 35's
Pay no attention to that lil spare on the back. My tramp stamp hadn't made it in when I took the pics

I run the RK 2.5 stock mod and 37s and have no complaints. Even with the added bumpers carrier, and full size spare, I have yet to notice any sagging in over two years. RK is good stuff.

Looks like you have the typical rk springs falling out problem? What shocks did you go with?
