If you prefer a dropped pitman arm putting additional stress on a weak steering box instead of a high steer draglink flip kit then, ok.

Its on !!!
Did the install yesterday with my buddy at his garage, took a little longer than expected but it came out awesome. There were a few little things that were a pain in the butt during the install, like at the end putting the geometry correction bracket on the passenger side; The instructions say you may need to do some "slight prying" with the exhaust to remove a bolt. Well after slight we moved to intense. After intense we just decided to drop the motor mount and do it that way, worked a lot better. Over all this is a GREAT complete kit, I would definitely recommend it to any one.

Very nice choice man. I have also been looking at the AEV 3.5 RS lift for my 2012 rubicon unlimited.. What kind did u get the SC or the RS kit ? Will you be running 35" or 37" and let me know how it drives on road and at higher speeds..
For who ever said that the rancho lift was better I used to own that on my 2008 wrangler with the XL9000 shocks I HATED THAT LIFT AFTER 3k miles ran like crap! I refuse to ever buy that lift even if it was practicality given to me..

I'm considering this lift and would appreciate a review on the road and trail manners. Also, I've heard some people are netting well more than 3.5" on this lift, so I'd appreciate it if you could weigh in on that as well?
