Me too, I have personally dealt with Rock Krawler, TeraFlex and Rancho and they are all equal when it comes to Customer service. Unless you have dealt with Rancho and RK kind of hard to make that blanket statement that TF is the best lol. All 3 have been equally good. I deal with RK, Rancho and TF because there customer service as well as Northridge4x4 which has always provided great service.

As for adding Monroe shocks and spacers, I would never. That takes away most the reason to lift a jeep... What are the Monroe shocks like 7-8" of travel?...

Actually, the Monroe reflexs are 1" longer than stock and have more travel. Soooooo, if your never disco'ed, there is no reason not to use them as they are better handling on road, smooth on and off road and control the washboards way better. They are a great budget option. I am on my second set now and they work awesome for jeeps that are mildly lifted like mine and don't RAWK KRAWL.

Second For AEV. 2.5 dual sport. Had it on the Jeep for a year and a half. Handles great on road and off road.

Question for webejeepin.... You running 35s? I am thinking of adding bumpers and winch, which I know will pull lift down a little. Any idea how much lift you lost due to weight.

I'm running 33s right now.

I added front mid width bumper and rear bumper with tire carrier at the same time as my AEV 2.5"
I also run a full size spare. No winch either.

Not having stock bumper on I'm not sure how much lift I lost.

There's a stock measurement diagram floating around here were you measure the distance of the centre bolt on the bottom of one front shock to the top of the shock mount.

I want to say stock is 18.5"? Don't quote me...I currently measure just over +2.5"

Will see if I can find this photo.

Pulled the trigger.

3.5 Rock Krawler X-Factor kit with the bilstiens, and an exhaust spacer.

Got a killer deal on kit. Waiting for it all to come in now, so i can get it installed.

Figured i have the money, so mine as well do the x-factor and not add arms as i go, Get it aligned properly from the start.
