I really appreciate all of you posting your pics and videos of this lift on your jeeps. For those of you running 35's, do you feel that it is giving you enough clearance? Has anyone measure the actual height that you get? Has anyone experienced any sagging from having afternmarket bumpers, etc? Thanks.

Can I use the new 3.5" kit and add a 1.25" body lift to fit 37x12.5, or do I have to go with a larger spring lift? I have an 2010 auto 4 door and dont offroad it so I dont need huge flex. I use it to haul my Mastiffs around. I dont want to spend huge money on a lift when this is just a weekend toy for driving around on pavement (Just finished my 39k Vette project finally and am car broke). I want a decent ride though.
Thanks

I put the lift to the test this weekend and it performed extremely well. What a difference it makes!!!!
Taking it out again this weekend for another 2 days.

I just ordered the RC 3.5" lift with the 2.0 shocks and control arms. I'm excited, as I had just been running spacers. I read this thread a few times before making my decision, I know its not a $2K lift but I've heard enough positive reviews that I feel really good about it! Will post pics asap!

Hi Guys!
I am ready to order the kit myself but am still a little concerned about the road ability. I just bought this 2010 Unlimited Rubicon and love the way it drives down the road and don't want to sacrifice it. You guys who have put a few miles on them now you still in love with it? Thanks for all the input as well, this thread was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks! That is what I had hoped for. From what I have seen the lift does quite well on the trail as well. Hard to beat for the money. I enjoyed watching the videos you have posted. Have a blessed day!
