That's good news I ordered mine weeks ago thru rock krawler and I was promised I would be receiving it way before my installation app next tuesday. Just talked to them and it still has not been shipped not happy!

I was thinking of the same kit the 5.5 with the 3.5 springs. But would lk to know if the fox shocks and the bump stops that teraflex has would be good with it. And I was planning on going to the 5.5 later on and want to know if I would need new shocks and bump stops as well when I go taller

I'd also like to see pics of this, I swear I could fit 37s without trimming fenders but not too sure about it.

Drag link flip puts the drag link on the top of the knuckle and make it more parallel with the track bar. Make the steering feel more bester...er. Good idea with a lift in the 3.5-4"+ range.

3.5" X-Factor on a 2011 Rubi. with 35x12.5R17 Cooper STT's

I got 5.7" lift in the front and 4.6" in the rear. I'm a very light 2 door as well, no added weight yet. I've put almost 3,000 miles on it and haven't noticed any sag. Still on stock drive shafts as well with no issues.

I'm going to 37's very soon b/c I think the 35's look too small and I keep going on harder and harder trails. Only thing I can't decide on is 4.88's or 5.13's with the 6 spd.

35's no lift


After lift

Very nice and yes, I wish I had done the 37s from the start!
Also I'm stuck on the 4.88 vs 5.13 with the 2dr, 6spd, 37s set up.
