Thanks for all the replies and feedback. I started off looking at RK and was getting swayed by a shop towards Rubicon Express primarily because that's their "go too" kit and they said the highway ride for RK wasn't great. I'm definitely going with RK Flex with Bilstein 5100s and 2" bump stops front/rear per RK's website based on your comments though. Will post some pics when complete.

Thanks again for the help.

They priced cheaper than BFGs and ProComps which were my other choices. You happy with yours so far?

Thanks for the invite to take a ride. That's exactly what I need to do, I just haven't met anybody up here yet since I've only been here a week.
Any time, I am very happy with the ride. It feels better than stock to me, but feeling is very subjective.

The ride and look is so much better than stock... 2.5" Teraflex is a nice complete kit and a few vendors here offer real good prices on it. Good Luck.
X2 on this set up! Have the exact same and rides great

You'll be very happy with that kit. Don't know that you'll need the front bumpstops, as I don't run any with my 37's and still have yet to make any contact. I don run 2" in the rear, though.
