Nice Flex. I recently had the 3.5" RK X-Factor Mid Arm installed with 35" KM2's. I'm using RK's RRD shocks, but I haven't had a chance to check the articulation yet. My Jeep goes back to the shop in a couple of days to make sure that the suspension is still all torqued correctly before I start playing with it. Here is a poor side shot from my cell phone.

Wicked jeep man! Your pics sold me on the RK 3.5. Do you think its worth getting the "plus" kit with the 3-link rear conversion, or are you happy with the 4 link as far as flex goes ?

The ride is awesome. Waaay better than those crappy x shocks with a BB, I'll tell ya that. As far as the upgraded kit goes, I bought what I could afford at the time. I'm happy with the front, the rear however, needs to go back. So the next step will be the 3 link conversion/adress the rear spring location and decide on the final tire size and possibly comp cut....But thats a good year or two away. For now, its great!

Normally I don't love body matched bumpers but damn do those rescue green BFH's bumpers look good! I'm sporting a BFH in the front. Still undecided on the rear.

Flex looks outstanding too!
