Default Metalcloak Game Changer 3.5 lift kit

I've been searching around for a lift kit, and this is the most expensive one I have found. The lift I am looking for is 2.5"-3.5" preferably and I'd like to hear what you guys have to say about each and every lift kit out there, pros and cons etc. I have a 2012 JKUR. Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks y'all!

What do you want out of a lift? What type of wheeling will you be doing? What is your skill level/is this your first Jeep? How much pavement vs off % Do you want just looks? What size of tires do you want to run? What's your budget?

Got the Rock Krawler 2.5 max travel on a steal. It's pretty complete and you can chose what you want for shocks. All together I'm in my suspension like $650 and not a single complaint.

Want a confident look for it, and I've heard nothing but good reviews from this kit. Going to be running 35s most likely and I know this kit has great reviews for on and offroad wheeling, budget doesn't matter. If I'm buying a kit, I'm investing the right amount of money into a kit that will last me with no problems.

How much time offload and what difficulty do you expect. I had a friend on a spacer lifted rubicon with 35s that would go plenty of places I couldn't go with a better lift and stock 32s.

Should be a fine kit for everyday driving. I would do the 2.5" if you are just going to be running 35's. If you want the look of a bigger lift then invest in flat fenders or trim the factory ones. The less you do to the suspension the better and if you need more lift in the future you just need to get longer coils or add a coil spacer. The metal cloak kit is pretty complete and reviews I have seen have been good. I am trying out some of their joints and like them so far. Only time will tell how they will hold up on a more extreme build.
