Default Who has the Rock Krawler lift

I only have weeks left in Afghanistan before I come home. I've bought just about everything for my JK except for the lift. I bought 35's and you can see in the picture the wife already has them on for me as well as my bumpers. I've spent the good part of the year reading and holding off on the lift because I knew I would change my mind a million times before coming home. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Rock Krawler 3.5 entry system I just need to know what the opinion is of the people who have already bought it. I have Rubicon Exress fixed lower control arms I bought for next to nothing on Ebay that I'll use with the kit.

No lectures just how you like or dislike your lift.

Hello,
I just ordered my 3.5 mid arm and got it this past week. I would recommend it although must people seem to steer towards teraflex etc) I have not installed it but looked over the parts and they are pure beef!

Well, I have RK, but not the same lift. Top notch design and quality. Upgradeable to each of the fancier versions, so you can build it at your own pace. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the replies so far. You said exactly why I was comparing the RK and RE lifts, the ability of upgrading with having to replace a whole lot of stuff if anything. Did you find that you needed to buy the cambolts when you got it re-aligned? How about brake line relocators becaue I noticed they didnt list it in the parts description

Rockrawler is of equal if not better quality than TF. I have their HD tierod, HD draglink and front n rear HD trac bars and will be getting their 3.5" springs soon to replace my skycrapper springs and thru their recommendations just installed the bilstein 5100's which I got at shockwarehouse.com for a sale price of $54 ea. But their back to $74 ea. now and will soon get their control arms as well. So stick to your guns and rest assured your decision is an excellent one. And thanx for serving your country , your a better man than most my friend. Get home safe , your jee...... Um I mean family awaits.

Im user impared and working on how to load larger images. The 33s worked great at stock height on road and on trails. The wifes been driving it with the 35s and on the street theres no rubbing what so ever. So on a side not if you are building a mall crawler have at it. But I couldnt live with myself if the Jeep never saw dirt.
