Question 3.5" rough country lift kit w/ auto 2dr jk

Anyone have it ? Opinions and comments ?
Thinking of running this kit on my 2dr auto jk
Right now, I am running 33x12.5x15 tires on 15x10 wheels
I am wondering if I need to change anything else to run this kit with my auto
I heard that when flexing, the stock front driveshaft boot will tear on the stock automatic transmission pan which will eventually lead to a squeaking driveshaft
also wondering if my 33s will look too small with it
I plan to run 37s in the future with flat fenders
Pics will help also

Anyone running this kit with an auto jk and having problems with his driveshaft ?
Wondering if I can order any skid plate spacers with this kit to avoid the driveshaft form rubbing the tranny skid ? Or should I trim or remove the skid ?

I didnt have the 3.5 but I had the 3.25 kit and I just took it off and put on a clayton 3.5 with teraflex shocks. No Comparision between the two. The clayton rides like a cadilac, the rough country drove like a log truck with no shocks. If its all u can afford than go for it, better than nothing but there are better choices out there. I am huge fan of Clayton and teraflex and thats why my lift is a combo of their stuff and JKS. There stuff is top notch. Heard great things about rockkrawler too.

The RC springs sagged like crazy and the shocks were aweful. Again, if its all you can afford go for it but I cant recomend it.
