Default Rock Krawler Advice Needed ASAP

RK is running a prettty good sale (Check it out here https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/foru...p-Vendor-Forum)

I plan on running 35's for sure and maybe flat or trimmed fenders.

Would y'all recommend running the 2.5'' which can be tight without the flat fenders or the 3.5'' which might make 35's look small with flat fenders? The RK guys recommend the 2.5'' but I am slightly torn. HELP!!

You have a 4 door so DS's won't be an issue soon as long as you don't slide your front across a rock! Personally, and from what I have seen most everyone on here do which is always want bigger, I would go bigger first. 35's will look fine and you will already be set up for 37's when the bug hits...

personally, if I had a four door. i would get a 2.5" kit + flat fenders+ 1" bl + bump stops and run 37's

four doors and 35's just look so little.

and on the driveshaft thing. it's going to be an issue with automatics. not two door or four door, unless you're going over 3"+ in net height. . . than the rear shafts will start to fail eventually over 4" .. .

Does the lift added by the BL cause DS issues or is it strictly suspension lift?

Strictly Suspension will cause DS issues.
