Default Which Lift

I have a 2012 Rubicon Unlimited. I am planning on running 37s with flat fenders. I am stuck between the RK 3.5 x factor and the AEV 3.5. I have read positives about both. I have heard that the AEV is a great on road lift, and have heard many positive things about Rock Krawler. I want the best lift for the price and for my needs. My Jeep is my daily driver and off road use will be limited for a while other than trips to my camp. I like the fact that the x factor re centers my rear axle and includes all new adjustable control arms. Really trying to order the lift soon and looking for any advice.

Thanks

you have already stated what features you like and why and really, that's all you should need to make your decision. one kit only gives you a bunch of overpriced relocation brackets and the other gives you upgraded heavy duty components that allow you to make real adjustments. the only thing you will hear from the fanboys is them telling you why their lift kit is best even though none of them have ever tested out anything else. unless you have the opportunty to test out both, go with what you like because everything else you'll get is just fluff.

Sir, Thank you for concidering Rock Krawler with your purchase. The 3.5" X Factor System is specifically designed to fit 37's under minimal lift. That kind of sounds like what you are looking for.... If you have any questions for us, please let us know.

Wayoflife Thanks for your input...

I will say RK is always on the forum too, answering questions and adding to the conversations. I would like to think if you ever needed assistance they would be right here to help. For me that goes a long way.
