The lift itself is incredible. Much better than stock in my opinion. No nose dive on braking and very little body roll. I hated the stock suspension.I just got back from a big road trip from Colorado up to Glacier National to Banff back down to Yellowstone and Teton them back to Colorado. 4000 miles in 13 days and I could not be happier with the performance of the suspension. I have Metalcloak fenders and rockers on my TJ and there stuff is the best and customer service is exceptional.Ultimately I went with 2.5 over 3.5 for easy entry and to lower the possibility of driveline and other issues. If and when I go bigger I will work with fenders and a body over going bigger. It would be a pretty easy change to go to 3.5 with their lift if needed, just the springs need to be changed. They use the same shocks for both kits and everything else is adjustable, but I do not see going to 3.5 at this point. Very happy with the 2.5. Let me know if you have any other questions around the lift or install. I would be happy to answer.

awesome. thanks, man. did you do the install yourself? that's what my plan is. and if i feel like swapping out for the taller coils, it wouldn't be too bad. i'll be pairing the kit with my "33-inch" duratracs (read: 31.818976-inch duratracs), so while i really want their fenders as well, my wallet may be able to do without them for a minute. glad to hear about your road-trip - we're planning one from atlanta to moab.

I did do the install myself. It was straight forward. I try to do everything myself so I better understand the function of all the parts. You will definitely be fine with 33's. You will love Moab, although I have not had either of my jeeps there I take my motorcycle there twice a year.
