I have the 3.5 series 2 lift with bfgoodrich km2's 35x12.50 on pro comp 17 inch rims. No complaints on the quality of the lift. Not sure If it's that big of a difference but I would probably do extended brake lines. After I put the lift on the brakes lines won't budge what so ever so I'm in the process of purchasing those. Other then that you should be very happy with the lift.

Do the rear first because you have to use the rear sway bar links on the front unless you already have disconnects. Other than in about 4 hours you will be lifted. Also DO NOT tighten the bolts until you have the jeep back on the ground. Just saying

Make sure you recheck everything after 500 miles on the lift, if your going to do alot of off roading check it sooner.

I have this suspension. The install was very straight forward. I did the front first and needed to move the rear links but not a issue. I did not use the brake line extensions in the front and left them as is. I later bought extended lines for the front and it has been fine. I also run 35's on 17x9 rims and only had to trim a bit off the airdam.
Overall it has been fine. Have 31k mikes now and still good.
Had a rear shock leak after the first winter but RC replaced it free.
Overall, good kit.

I have this lift getting ready to go on this weekend. Im also gonna run 35x12.50x17 on the OEM wheels. Doing this I had to buy the spacers as well.

Ive installed the 2.5" RC kit before so Im sure this 3.25" wont be any harder. LOL

To true, pretty easy to install but it's really just a 2.5" lift with 3/4" spacers. At least that's the RC lift I have.... Haha
