Everyone has an opinion, I've read many posts as well as driven rigs with other lifts. It is your choice and if you are looking for a nice ride for the 80% street and 20 offroad (like I do as well) this life is a Cadillac.i have driven a rig with a 4" Rancho lift and it was nice but you get what you pay for.

Ps: the 20% offroad I like to wheel it hard. That's what it's built for!

"You get what you pay for" That was said to me plenty of times when I was pricing out a lift by many people who know FAR more than I about Jeeps. Thats why I went with AEV. Good call my friend.

The 35 look not so tinny on your picture
and with your Savergre wheels,does your tires are out of the fenders ...
5.13....your JK is your DD or your weekend fun.....manual or automatic....I have 2012 auto
Thanks
If I had bought the lift new, I would have gone with the 3.5. My jeep is a Dailey driver, 2011 with an automatic. There are certain things that are just a pain with the 4.5. Such as putting my newborn twins in, loading my great Dane, trying to reach the buttons at the ATM and most annoying, I can't fit it in the garage with the sunrider open, because it won't clear.
But for $300 I couldn't pass it up

"You get what you pay for" I always say that for everything in general..........LIKE IT TOO


jrod250......I n agrre with all you said ,but for the same $$$$ ,bigger seems to be better........but it s true many inside parking lot gonna be over for me........
The ride is the same on 3.5 and 4.5.......
I ve got so many questions,a few thousand $$$$ is a god $%** big amount of cash for an blind purchase.....
That s why I so many of them in my mind and like I said there s no one here with AEV stuff,so I can t try....

Thank you very much everyone

If you are at all considering 37" tires now, get them. You will regret it if you don't.
