The sites search engine kinda sucks, so use this in google, followed by what you want to search on.

site:www.jk-forum.com

That, followed by RK 3.5, gives this:

I posted this in your other thread about 40s, but I'll share it here too.

I'm on my 5th JK and all of them have had RK suspension under them. This is my last JKU in the post below and I have a two door now on one of their long arm stretch systems. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about their product.

This is my 2012 JKUR. It had a 3.5 X-Factor Mid Arm, 37" MTZs, and the armor was all Poison Spyder. I re-geared it to 4.56 and was happy with the results, but I live in an area where we have speed limits of 75 - 85 MPH, so I went what some might consider a little light.







I ran around with stock flares while my Poison Spyder flares were being painted.

I run the 3.5 w/ all of the arms (mid), with King 2.5 adjustable shocks.







Here are good comparison pics. My wife is 5'10" tall. If you compare where the bar on my Poison Spyder bumper is on the two photos, you can see how much lift it gained.

Good looking Jeep, what brand is your rear bumper?

One of the other Board Members of San Diego Jeep Club works on the Midway. He was able to get permission for us to do a photo shoot from 0500-0930. The club opened their Toys for Tots Drive, and we will be doing other events in conjunction with the Midway. I was very honored to have this opportunity to get a bunch of shots of my Jeep on the flight deck. Although, they wouldn't let us stage at the cat.

That is a VKS Fab rear bumper and tire carrier.

I ran RRD Remote Reservoirs on that one. I've run them with Bilstein, Fox, Rancho RS9000, and the RRDs. Can't really go wrong all the way around.

I've got package deals on my website with shock options that make the choices simple. Suspension Packages
