Default Rock krawler 3.5" kit

Hi all, was wondering if anybody uses this setup? Rock Krawler JK3501 3.5 Inch Mid Arm Flex Suspension System by Rock Krawler. If so how has it been and would you recommend it? Did you need to change anything else. I have a 2012 jk 4 door

right now i am running the stockers most of the time, but i bought a set of 315/70/17 on stock jeep rubicon wheels that actually measure out to 33.25 inches when i go out. the 3.5 inch lift should net you plenty of room to clear 35's with the stock flares or 37's. my larger tires rub the fenders and bumpers a bit with the 2.5.

What size tire and fender style will your be running? That is one of the main determining factors when it comes to installing your lift. If you want to discuss anything feel free to PM us.

I'm looking to run 35's. but worried I'm going to loose power unless I regear that's not in the budget. What kind of power lose will i get. Will be keeping stock flares until cash flow comes back and will go with flat flares.

I have the 3.5 with 37's AMD trimmed flares. Ride on road is as good as stock. Off road the flex is near limitless. I wheel a lot of rocks and never take a tire off the ground. Quality is unsurpassed and the RK guys are always helpful on the phone. I had the opportunity to wheel with them and they use everything they sell!

If I keep my stock wheels on, with spacers how would it look? If I get 35's should I go to a smaller or bigger rim size. What is the best setup.
