Thanks Karl, I fixed the body, but could not edit the title.

I was looking at the same set as you and everything I found said it has great on/off road manners. I just purchased the 2.5 Max Travel (Budget did not allow for the pro) and it will be delivered tomorrow. Alot of the guys here in the NorthEast are running Rock Krawler and swear by it. I dont think you will be disappointed.

Also, dunno if you have checked with BustaBizz (4WD Rep) but for this month they are including the bump stop extensions with your purchase. Plus his price was the best I could find anywhere!

Go with Rock Krawler, HD full steel arms and abuse proof waranty. Any lift kit from RK ride good and flex like crazy. I have the 3.5'' and i love it, 2 of my friends have the 2.5'' and 3.5'' long arm. No regret at all, good luck!

I have the RK 2.5" springs on my JK with Bilstein 5100 and it rides great. Nice and soft going down the road and absorbs bumps really nice [as nice as a live axle can].

These are the part numbers I have for the Bilsteins I'm using

BIL24-146708
BIL24-146715

Have you loaded your jeep with camping gear etc really put some weight in it. Is it level ?

I wouldn't hesitate to order this lift. I've go the 3.5x factor on order right now. From what I've seen RK makes great stuff and their prices are better than their peers.

I love my RK 3.5". Install was pretty straightforward, the directions are pretty much Barney-style.

how has your driveline held up with the 3.5"? i'm trying to decide between the 2.5 Max Travel and the 3.5 Mid Flex for my '11 JKU, 6spd. What else, besides the lift itself, did you have to address?
