Aev 2.5" on 34's. Absolutely love it. It's not a rock crawler but it good for moderate off road use. On the road it handles like a dream.

I just bought a 3.5" AEV lift for my '15 Rubicon X. I also picked up AWV wheels and 35" Trail Grapplers. Will be installing kit Thursday. Will let you know how it rides. I've heard nothing but good things.

Contrary to all the responses so far, I'd recommend against spending $1000 for linear coils and Bilstein shocks, but it's your money.

2.5" RK stock mod at the moment, have all of the lower control arms sitting in the back seat just waiting for the Krawler joints to come in and I will put them on because they are bad. Sits a little low in the back because of the heavier bumper and spare, but I am planning on a new front bumper and winch soon so I don't want to pay for spacers in the rear

Best 1,000 I've ever spent with my money but the lift isn't for everyone.
