Default rock krawler 2.5 max or 3.5 w/ 35s

Hi all, just wondering what you all are running or what you would suggest. I am plannig on running 35x12.5x17s and want a rock krawler lift for my 2 door. Looking for opinions, suggestions, and pics of the 2.5 max travel and the 3.5 mid arm lifts.

Heres my 2 door with the 2.5 max kit and 35" Coopers. Been very happy with this kit so far. I think 3.5 and 35's may look a bit weird on a 2 door, but thats just my opinion. I'm sure you'll do good with either!

If/when I go to 37's there will definitely be enough room for them after cutting the Fenders.

2.5" for 35's. I have room for 37's with a little tuning, I'm sure.

Bump.


I am on the fence about the 3.5 max travel. I have the 2dr 6spd and want to make sure it doesnt look weird with that much lift and 35's. I hear the 3.5 gives like 4.5-5" on the 2 doors. I will have the LoD front and rear bumpers with m8000 winch, will that help lower it a tad?

pictures of 3.5 and 35's please!
