I'm extremely pleased with this set up so far. Now just itching to go play in Colorado or Moab!!

I'd personally go with the 3.5 long arm with flats if you are running 35s. It will still give you the same look but address some of the steering and handling issues a higher lift can have. I ran the 4.5" super flex on my 2 door, the joints make a little noise but I was happy overall. I think you will be pleased.

ID:	621921 Everything is going great! Been out a few times sense the mods. Ended up with Cooper 35s as the Toyo's were on back order. Im very happy. Bilstien reservoirs. And of course the express...4.5. Did opt in for the exhaust relocation just to avoid issues. Supper happy and feel solid and confident over everything i have been over so far!

Have 119000+ miles on my RE 4.5 LA. Just rebuilt all the control arms with help from the RE staff. RE shocks lasted about 88K now using Bilstien 5100. Not the same kit questioned In this thread, but the secret to life is knowing what your buying and what it will do. RE dosent make flex monster stuff but it's pretty solid for the $$$.

I'll add my $.02 here. I installed a RE 2.5" lift w/ shocks last year and like most say the ride will be stiffer. But the more I drove it offroad the more the shocks and springs brokenand now it rides great both on and off pavement. When I bought the lift it did not comre with the geo drop brackets, I add some AEVs later.
