Default Rubicon Express lift

I'm currently using a ProComp 3.5" lift, it's a great entry level lift for mild off road use. I have steel bumpers, winch, jack. So all the added weight has lift weighted down and performing bad off road. So I'm ready to upgrade to a 4.5" long arm lift and go from 35's to 37's. Looking at the Rubi Express 4.5 extreme and drive shafts. Anyone here running this lift? Open to opinions and thoughts. Thanks in advance

Personally I would look to other lifts besides the RE.
read this for my other thoughts.https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...-lifts-288269/
Good luck with the build.

whats making it perform bad offroad? weighing it down shouldnt change much at all. In all reality it probably helps on that lift size. Also why go long arm? In my opinion most kits are pretty damn similar. I will swear by making your own components or making a franken lift, but if you want a kit id say it will perfrom fine. Also agree that if i were to get a kit id go a different route. Personally a RK fan here but you will get many opinions...Dirtmans link is a great read.
