As mentioned above. The JKS 2.5" is a very good quality kit and works well with 35's and factory flares. I ran this exact setup and was very happy with it. I have used JKS products for at least 10 years and on several platforms and have always been pleased with their products.

I have attached a pic of the 2.5" and 35's for reference.

Another vote against RK. Unless you like rebuilding your joint ever oil change.

The RK control arms seem to wear out from what I have read. I know a few that have the JKS lift and very happy. They are running FOX and Bilsteins with theirs. You can build your lift on the JKS site too.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the decision easier.

I ended up buying my first choice and what many recommended, the JKS 2.5 jspec lift.

Ordering through Northridge4x4 I was able to use the forum discount code and get $85 off.. sweet .

Interesting. I recall myself recommending the JKS lifts on another thread to much "heated" debate. For someone that was running AEV and is now running coilovers, I can say once again the JKS is very hard to beat especially at the price currently being offered, the quality mfg, and their warranty.

Haha! The internet is a crazy place with tons of opinions. Either way, every lift has its quirks, some just have more than others. It's evident from this thread that RK has the most currently. I'm sure you will love the JKS kit.
