Default 35's and lift, SL or RC???

I am going to 35's within a week or two and was looking at lifts. I was hooked onthe FT 3'' Economy Plus and then adding Front Lowers and 5100's, but after seeing their warranty and hearing stories about their bushings and what not i have leaned away. I've noticed lots of people running the RC lifts and wanted to know peoples thought on the lift. I am leaning more towards the Superlift 4'' or black diamond 3'' lifts now but just wanted to het some of you guys thoughts before i spend the money. regardless i am going to run Front lowers and will try to upgrade to 5100's with whichever lift i choose.

I have the 3.5" Rubicon Express super flex lift and am very happy with it.

It took a full day to install. It lifted it closer to 5.5" but it settled down after 100 miles or so.

Settled back down to about 4'' or so even though its a 3.5''? Also are you running 35's, plenty of room?

I think i'm pretty much stuck between the superlift and Rubicon now...

FT fixed the bushing issues and now have a bomb proof zero maintenance kit. There are a lot god reviews on FT. I personally would stay away from RC. Good luck.
