I have the 3.25" RC lift and have had it in the Jeep for over 3 years, almost 4 years and 40K miles.
No issues and all is fine for my uses.
I run 35's on 17x9 rims.
All good.
Stay safe

Looks good. I'm installing 2.5 BB soon and guessing it'll look the same.

Heads up... When installing the rear spacers you will want to tape your wrench to the nut/washer that goes on top of the spring perch. You'll understand what I'm taking about when you get to that step.

Question What size tires are you running?
Also, how do you like the ride with the 2.2 shocks? Many on here complain of a rough ride with them. Especially 2drs
