However, maintaining a ride as close to stock or better is of extreme importance. I realize the bigger lifts will offer the excellent off-road capabilities as well, but that's really just a bonus for our situation. I am leaning toward one of these options....
Rock Krawler 5.5" (Mid or Long, not sure yet)
Full Traction 6" Long Arm

Can I get some feedback from people who are currently running these or recommend another lift that gives stock or better ride on the road?

Thanks
Off personal experience, I have a 2DR with the Rock Krawler 3.5 Mid Arm Flex and run 37's with no problem. I know people say that you need Flat Fenders, but it just isnt the case. On your JKU, you should easily clear 37's with the 3.5 Rock Krawler, HANDS DOWN the best lift out there. Not to knock any other manufacturers, as I have heard Fantastic reviews of Terraflex products....just my opinion...

these picks are with 37's on my 2dr
