As for my impressions after a few days...
It's bouncy and definitely a rougher ride than stock! I can feel the bumps.
I ordered an adjustable track bar along with this lift but I'm not sure if I need it. The frontend is pretty centered. Anyone have thoughts on putting the adj. track bar on or just leaving the stock one as is?
The 35's killed some of the performance and knocked about 3mpg off my economy. Definitely need to look into 5.13 gears.

I'm considering the 3.25 kit from RC......to use as a complete 2.5
I'd use everything but the .75 spacers.
Then if I went with a winch & heavy front bumper I'd just use the front spacer down the line. I called RC and the guy I spoke to said it would be fine running the 3.25 kit as a 2.5
Any thoughts?

[/ATTACH] these are my before and after pictures...as you can see it came out great...the ride is a little different from the stock rubi shocks..i sure do love how a lifted jeep drives...by the way i opted for the four door lift instaed of the 2 dr. lift ..for the different in spring rate..it worked out great..

when i was installing the front brake line extension brackets, i noticed there wasnt much room for the brake line to come down and bolt onto the bracket, as in it wouldnt drop far enough, so i left it off, but im gonna cut the bracket it half and do it like that because it wont go down as far as the bracket goes.. did you have any problems with it?

i also cut the zip tie to get alittle more room for the abs line,and then i ziped tied it on a different point so it would not bind....my son was installing the rear brake line extension bracket.he found that the rear sway bar would hit the brake line and bracket if we were to flex either side...so i bent in the rear extension brackets on the rear brake lines to avoid this happening

i called rough country and they said to pull the stock isolater and install only the .75 puck and then the coil spring...but you can leave the stock isolater out and just install the coil..i think it be the same height...
