Which kit would you pick for an 07 Rubicon Unlimited.... 3.5 kit give you a true extra half inch ? I'm going to be running 37s

 

For me, this was easy. RK all the way. I have run my 3.5 suspension with 35's and now 37's for over 2 years and I am totally and completely satisfied. I run the Fox 2.0 shock. Very nice ride on the road, killer performance off road. Super heavy duty components and a lifetime warranty.

 

Mid arm with just LCAs? Or he full flex kit with all 8 arms ?

 

RK 2.5 gets my vote

 

Full flex, all control arms, front and rear TB's, Pro tie rod and drag link.

 

What's Ive found with my 3.5" RK lift and my JKUR is that it is pretty much close to the 3.5" that it states. 2 doors see a lot more lift but a heavy 4 doow with steel bumbers and winches will have it settle nicely to the stated size. Max lift you will probably see when properly equipped is 4".

Looking at a buddy's Jeep that has the 3" TF, we seem to be just about the same height. TF generally runs taller from what I can tell so i don't think the height difference should be the deciding factor. Both companies make great lifts and you can't go wrong with either. What i can say is that my RK lift is a bit noisy at times and rides a little stiffer overall than my older TF lift. However, off-road it's a beast and peforms awesome.

One interesting thing is I've always run Bilstein shocks but I borrowed my brother in law's jeep the other day running a TF lift and TF shocks and the drive seemed so much nicer than mine. Definite difference in the way the shocks road. I actually liked the softer feel of the TF shocks over the Bilsteins...

 

2.5 is great for the 2 dr, the 3.5 is really better for the 4 dr. The extra inch makes a difference with the longer 4 dr. Had a friend run the 2.5 on a 4 dr on 37's and just changed to the 3.5 springs to gain a little at his belly.

 

True that.

 

I was looking at this same two lifts. (My goal was to come as close To a 3.5" lift as possible)
From the research I did the RK was going to give me more then 4" which was more then I wanted. I called and asked about the RK lift also and got pretty much the same answer. It should settle out at ~4"

I ended up with the Teraflex 3" full flex (8 adjustable CA) and Rancho 7000 shocks. I ended up with 3.75" in the front and 3.5" in the rear. I have about 5000 miles on it and so far like it the ride is very good
If the research on the RK would have told me <4" I would have gone with it. And maybe over time it Would have.
I think you can't go wrong with either.

 

Yea. Thanks for the input guys. I def wanted to check into the mid arm kit with just LCAs. Going to be mostly daily driving and be my weekend warrior. I figured if I need the extra umph id upgrade and grab the UCAs down the road as well as the newer track bars etc.
