Default Street Ride with 35" Tires

I just bought a 2007 Rubicon 2 door. I am very pleased with the ride and handling on the street. I'm getting ready to add 35" tires, a 3" or 3.5" lift, 4.88 gears and driveshafts. I'm leaning towards the RE lift kit.

I'm interested in how a setup similar to this rides and handles on the street. I'm interested in the ride quality, handling and performance (acceleration and deceleration) and any tendency for vibrations or other "quirks". If anyone has a similar setup and could help out, I'd appreciate it, particularly if it can be compared to the stock Rubicon ride.

Thanks!

im riding on 35's and it drives fine, but i do have the unlimited, which is longer so it handles big tires a little easier as far as absorbing vibrations and all

i have skyjacker coils up front and rear tera spacers, riding on the stock rubi shocks, it feel like it did when it was stock, but is a litle heavier then stock becuase of the big tires, the gears did help and so did the bolt on power mods

unlimited with Superlift 4", 35 Radial claws on 15's and it rides better than stock. I notice no "serious" power loss
