Im enjoying this tread cause i was considering the same thing of 2.5 vs 3.5 lifts but im Just wondering if any one running the 2.5 lift with 35's on a two door has any problems with rubbing when at full flex with stock fenders

This is with little weight. Those 3.5's are going to be tall as f***
Damn.. Lol guess i will have to see how it looks. I was hoping the 3.5s would give me 4 ish with the weight and settling...

I had this same dilemma and went 3.5" and I couldn't be happier. FYI you will need a front drive shaft if you use 4" shocks. Mine was rubbing the crossmember while drooped on the jack stands.

Here's mine with 35" BFG and Trailmod flares.

Had the same dilemma...just couldn't decide...so I just went with the RK 2.5" X Factor w/ RRD Resi 2.0's. If I decide I want it higher...then I'll upgrade! Just ordered it from Marcus @ RiverCityOffroad. Great guy to deal with and will answer any questions you have! Can't wait to get mine on! 2 months left in Afghanistan and I'll be installing that bad boy! (2013 2dr Sport - 18x9 Fuel Boost Rims - 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers - RC 2.5" BB) .........

Here is a photo of my Jeep with a 2.5 Rock Krawler X Factor. This is a complete replacement suspension that moves the rear axle back to center in wheel well and clear the pinch seam. The Jeep is sitting on Toyo Open Country M/T 35 X 12.50's mounted on AEV Pintler Beadlocks. This lift has excellent handlin on and off road.
Such a tiny picture and I can't seem to get it larger...bummer!
