We have set up plenty of rigs like this. The road manners really come down to properly setting up the arms and alignment. Which 3.5" kit are you thinking?

PM us if you want to talk in detail about any of the kits.

I think overall you'd probably be happy with a RK setup as long as you run a nice shock. I run a 37" Toyo open country MT and love that tire.

I'm running this combo RK 3.5 w/ fox shocks and 37s, and I'm very happy with it. Although there are many other factors at play.

I'm running the taller Rock Krawler 5.5" kit with their RRD remote reservoir shocks on 37s. It rides and handles great! Give the Jake and Tom at Smashboogie 4x4 a call. I bought my parts through them. They installed my 5.5" kit and set it all up, it rides and handles better than ever. I can vouch for those guys that they know there stuff!!

. I have the 3.5 X factor on my JKU with bilstein shocks and if you get it dialed in properly with all the control arms it will drive great I'm really happy with it so far. I'm only running 35's rite now but getting 37's and dynatrac front axle this summer.

What u mean by dialed in? I'm guessing a 4 wheel alignment should put everything where it needs to be?
